Shabbat Services and Discussion

Do you feel disconnected when reciting traditional liturgy in a traditional congregation? At Or Adam, you'll participate in a personal and inspiring service, saying words that enrich you and celebrate your Jewish identity. We are the only congregation in Arizona to offer Humanistic services with heartfelt readings and songs in English and Hebrew.

We hold Shabbat services beginning at 7:00 pm on the first Friday of every month at the Phoenix Country Day School (please refer to the calendar for exceptions). Our services are warm and welcoming and enhanced by live music and singing. We encourage member participation in our varied readings. Children are always welcome.

Following our Shabbat service, we 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.

We offer an Oneg, or social gathering with lots of food, following the service and discussion.
