If you loved the music and spirit of One Night. One Stage. on May 4, you won’t want to miss Shabbat services on Saturday, May 30 with Anat Halevy Hochberg.

Anat brings a soulful, joyful, and deeply engaging musical presence to prayer. Her beautiful voice, rich harmonies, and creative approach to worship help create a Shabbat experience that feels warm, uplifting, and alive. Whether you love to sing, reflect, or simply be carried by the music, this promises to be a meaningful and inspiring service for all ages.

We recommend arriving on time, as the most musical portion of the service will take place from 10:00–11:15am, with the Torah service beginning at approximately 11:15am.

Shavuot services celebrate the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai with special morning prayers, reading the Ten Commandments and the Book of Ruth, and often include Yizkor memorial prayers.
