Services & Dinners

Our SERVICES AND EVENTS ARE A MIX OF IN-PERSON, ZOOM AND HYBRID

PLEASE CHECK THE ONLINE  CALENDAR

Shabbat morning services are at 9:45 a.m. in person and on Zoom, preceded by Torah study with Rabbi Koas at 8:45 a.m.  When Rabbi Koas is not here, there is no 9:00 am study session and lay-led services begin at 9:30 a.m. for preliminary Psukei d’Zimra, with Shacharit at 9:45. A light potluck lunch follows all Shabbat morning services. See Kashrut guidelines Our Shabbat services are a true hybrid with active participants on Zoom. Masks and hand sanitizer are available; please attend on zoom instead of in person if you are ill. See Zoom links page for the link.

Friday evenings in person and on Zoom with Rabbi Ron Koas.
6:00 pm Kabbalat Shabbat service. Once a month, when there is no monthly Shabbat dinner, dinner after services is potluck. See Kashrut guidelines.

One Friday night of the month catered Shabbat dinners at CBA: Join us for Shir Shabbat services with Rabbi Koas and the musicians of Klezmer Creek at 6:00 pm live and on Zoom, followed by a scrumptious dinner prepared by David Kahn, with help from many volunteers. Call 707-360-3000 or email office@bethamisr.org by noon on the prior Wednesday. Please note, our new policy on reservation after Thursday noon prior to a Shir Shabbat catered dinner and for those at the door, a late fee of 5 dollars will be added to the regular charge. PLEASE RSVP by Wednesday to get the regular pricing. We still offer scholarship to those in need. We need an accurate count of those coming to dinner so we can shop and prepare. So please get your reservation in early by phone or email. Thank you.

On one Friday a month, Leah Gerber leads a short and very sweet musical Sing In Shabbat service at 6:00 pm, concluding with our communal Zoom Kiddush (have your wine handy!) at about 6:30 pm. We hope that joining as a community in this way, will lift all of our spirits, with the beauty and holiness of Shabbat.

Saturday Shabbat morning Torah study with Rabbi Ron Koas at 8:45 a.m. followed by 9:45 a.m. services in person and on Zoom, lead by Rabbi Ron Koas and congregants. There are hearing assistance devices for in-person attendees and captioning available on Zoom.
