Shabbat Service

The Weekly Shabbat service at Beth Yeshua starts at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, the traditional day Jews celebrate Shabbat. Our services are modeled after a typical synagogue service with a few variations. Our congregation is fondly called a “United Nations of Believers” as we have members and guests in attendance at every Shabbat who are from different cultures and languages.

With predominately Russian-speaking American Jews, our worship service is conducted in Russian and English with Spanish interpretations. We dance in praise of Adonai and worship the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness with songs both in Russian and English.

You’re welcome to join our members and guests to give honor and glory to the Lord in your native tongue.

The Shabbat order of service is as follows.
