Shabbat

Shabbat at B’nai Jehudah

Come pray with us. Every day of the week we have an opportunity to come together in prayer with B’nai Jehudah.

On Shabbat join us in person or virtually at

  • 6:00pm on Friday nights and
  • 10:30am on Saturday mornings

Shabbat is a time to join together in joy, contemplation and reflection. Shabbat at B’nai Jehudah combines community, ruach (spirit) and wonderful music into an uplifting service that will allow you to learn and celebrate. We combine traditional prayers with contemporary music to bring the ancient words of our tradition to life. We link ourselves to the 150 years of our history by celebrating the next link in the Jewish chain when we call a young person to the bima as a bet mitzvah.

Please join us in person, or virtually on Facebook Live or Vimeo.

Additional Shabbat Worship Opportunities

 In addition to our traditional Shabbat services, we are proud to offer creative worship experiences that bring fresh approaches to prayer, music and community connections. Join us at an upcoming:

  • Tot Shabbat: The young (and young-at-heart) are invited to Tot Shabbat each month! Enjoy a family-friendly service with music, stories and a special activity.
  • Shabbat Simcha: Come enjoy a beautiful and ruach-filled musical Shabbat service. Our tefillah team will be out in full force, lifting our spirits with song as our rabbis bring the prayers to life with special readings and reflections. As simcha means ‘joy,’ we will also take time during the service to celebrate everyone’s birthdays, anniversaries and good news!
  • Rabbi’s Table: Join us for a catered Shabbat dinner and learn from our special guest speakers as we welcome in Shabbat, gathered together around the dinner table. This event replaces the Erev Shabbat Service (Mourner’s Kaddish will still be read). Space is limited, so please register early.
  • Shabbat Across KC: All across Kansas, our B’nai Jehudah members will be hosting Shabbat dinners for friends, new and old, to join them. Gather around the Shabbat table with your B’nai Jehudah family as we spread the light of Shabbat across KC! This event replaces the Erev Shabbat Service (Mourner’s Kaddish will be offered via livestream by our rabbis). Sign up to host or be hosted!
  • Learners’ Shabbat Service: During these educational services, our rabbis pause throughout the service to explain the choreography, customs and meanings behind the liturgy and traditions. It is a welcoming, low-pressure space perfect for those new to Shabbat or anyone wanting to refresh and deepen their understanding of Jewish worship.
  • Themed Shabbatot: Throughout the year, we celebrate themed Shabbat services that connect our Jewish tradition with American holidays, other Jewish festivals, our values and the world around us. Past themes have included Pet Blessing Shabbat (during Parashat Noach), Veterans’ Shabbat, Gratitude Shabbat (during Thanksgiving week) and our festive Lights & Lo Mein Hanukkah Shabbat. Music and prayers are tailored to highlight the evening’s theme, and help us elevate our Shabbat experience with deeper meaning, context, joy and a sense of connection to both tradition and the contemporary world around us.
