Shabbat (Saturday) Morning Services and Torah Study


The Jewish tradition gives us a gift each and every week:  Shabbat, a day of rest and an opportunity for gratitude.  We invite you to taste the beauty of Shabbat at a Chochmat HaLev Saturday morning service.


Our service schedule is changing in March! Read the details here.


Morning Blessing: Full band ecstatic Shakharit (Morning Service) with "Kirtan"(Call and Response Sacred Chanting)
10:30 am
(Please check the Calendar for updates, B'Nei Mitzvah information and more)


Dance and sing your prayers to the effervescent sounds of harmonium, hand drums and sacred chant.  Join Rabbi SaraLeya Schley, Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks and Shirat HaLev for this heart opening explosion of prayer, song and dance. Full Shakharit and Renewal Torah service. 

Please see our Calendar for upcoming dates!

Contemplative Shabbat Morning Service 
Led by Jeffrey Kessler and Laura Goldman
10:30am 
(Please check the Calendar for upcoming dates)


Join us for contemplative worship on the Third Shabbat mornings of every month at 10:30AM.  Our service follows the arc of the traditional liturgy, in distilled form -- with alternating periods of chanting and silence.  After a time for personal prayer (Amidah), we conclude with a brief Torah drash, the Mourner's Kaddish, and a healing circle.  A wonderful way to nourish and harmonize your soul through mindful connection with the Divine. 

Please see our Calendar for upcoming dates!

Torah Study

Community Led Torah Study

Come join us every Shabbat morning at 9:30 to read the week's Parsha (Torah portion) in English aloud and share what jumps out at us from the story. Everyone is welcome, no experience is necessary.

We meet in the Garden Room at Chochmat HaLev. Enter through the gate by the driveway on Prince Street. For more information contact Chochmat HaLev member Eric Strellis.
