Shabbat and Daily Services
Friday Evening Services
Our one-hour Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv services begin each Friday night at 6 p.m. during the winter months and at 7 p.m. during Daylight Savings Time. Join us for lively and spiritually uplifting prayers and tunes that make up our service. Whenever possible, an Oneg Shabbat, or dessert reception, follows services; it’s a great time to catch up with friends and meet newcomers.

Yedid Nefesh
Join us at 7 p.m. on Friday nights from mid-June through most of August for a musical, ruach-filled (spirited) Friday night service. Some Yedid Nefesh services may be followed by a dairy potluck dinner—check the calendar for exact dates.
Shabbat Morning Services
Services begin at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary, followed by a Kiddush luncheon that everyone is invited to join, unless the congregation is restricted from social gatherings due to health and safety concerns . There are many opportunities for congregation members to participate in or lead services. Contact the Beth Sholom office at 301-663-3437 for information on service participation or Kiddush luncheon sponsorship.
