Each week we come together to worship and celebrate as a community. Music and song are a moving and meaningful aspect of many of our shabbat services. We invite you to join us for services and experience avodah with our close-knit, caring congregation.

Services begin at 6 PM on Fridays, and last approximately one hour. Join us before services in both Seattle and Bellevue for our weekly “pre-neg,” as we start our celebration together with appetizers and wine.

While we wait to gather for Shabbat, reflect on recent teachings from our Rabbis with Two Minutes of Torah.

Please visit our calendar for monthly service dates and times.

Erev Shabbat Service Styles

Shabbat Unplugged

Shabbat Unplugged

Featuring the acoustic guitars of Temple’s talented song and prayer leaders, Shabbat Unplugged combines camp favorites with the new music of the Reform Movement. You will be tapping your toes and singing along with the prayers of our tradition.

Rock Shabbat

Rock Shabbat

Traditional prayers are uplifted with acoustic and bass guitars, drums, and beautiful, upbeat harmonies during Rock Shabbat. From Debbie Friedman to Bob Dylan — people often find themselves standing to clap, sing, and dance to the joyous melodies of the Sabbath.

Shabbat Shalosh

Shabbat Shalosh—A Sabbath Trio

Shabbat Shalosh builds on Shabbat Unplugged by the addition of another guitarist, amplifying the aesthetic and spiritual experience. Please join us.

Shabbat in Harmony

Experience the beauty of Shabbat in Harmony—a new quarterly service that blends sacred tradition with classical music. Featuring Temple’s adult and young adult choirs, local instrumentalists, and a partner church choir, this inspiring evening invites all generations to connect through music and prayer.
