​​Our regular Shabbat morning service approaches the traditional liturgy with a quiet, meditative feel. The service is led by Rabbi Eliana Jacobowitz, Darshan (religious leader) Emeritus Phil Weiss, and other members of the minyan. 

The service begins with the traditional preliminary service (P'sukei D'zimra) at 9:30am, followed at about 10am by the morning service proper (Shacharit), and then the Torah service.

The Torah service includes a chanting of the week's Torah portion and Haftarah according to this Triennial schedule, and concludes with a d'var Torah, a few minutes of teaching by our rabbi, darshan emeritus, or another member of the minyan. ​A light kiddush and schmooze follows weekly services.

On weeks with Family Shabbat Service  a community kiddush lunch follows our three services at noon. All are invited to eat and schmooze together in the social hall.

Shabbayit (monthly)

“Bayit” means house and on Shabbayit weeks (once a month) there is an opportunity to sign up to host or attend a meal at someone’s home. There are no Kabbalat Shabbat services at TBB on Shabbayit weeks. There is an upcoming Shabbayit on December 20th.
