Shabbat Services and Discussion

Shabbat Shalom!Do you feel disconnected when reciting traditional liturgy in a traditional congregation? Are you confused or disappointed mouthing words you don't understand or cannot relate to your life?

At Or Adam, you'll participate in a personal and inspiring service, saying words that you can understand and relate to your life - words that enrich you as they celebrate your Jewish identity. We are the only congregation in Arizona to offer Humanistic services with heartfelt readings and songs in English and Hebrew.

Services are held at the Phoenix Country Day School unless otherwise noted.

Our services are warm and welcoming, and enhanced by live music and singing. We encourage member participation in leadership and in our varied readings. Children are always welcome, and our Sunlight School students may play a leading role in the service.

Following our Shabbat service, we enjoy good snacks and get to know each other better during the Oneg. We then hold a special discussion featuring guest speakers or member presentations. Discussion topics have included: foundations of Humanistic Judaism, genealogy, Jewish music, the Holocaust, Middle Eastern relations, and more. Members are invited to click on the Member Site link for additional readings and discussions.

Come celebrate Shabbat in a meaningful, friend-filled evening.
