Our Kabbalat Shabbat service begins at 8:30 PM every Friday. Our services are mostly lay led, featuring trained members of our congregation as well as our rabbi, Rabbi Bob Saks. Bet Mishpachah has developed our own liturgy, including Shavat va-Yinafash, our Shabbat prayer book. Our liturgy features fresh translations of traditional prayers as well as contemporary writings and prayers written by members of our congregation. The liturgy, in both Hebrew and English, is gender-neutral in reference to God and gender-inclusive in reference to people. Services contain a mixture of Hebrew and English. We are a participatory congregation and enjoy singing along with the service leader. A weekly d'rasha is included in our services. Services are followed by an Oneg Shabbat, which provides an opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new ones.

Mazer Lesbian Archives for a screening of The Secrets (Sodot Ha) and a mixer to follow.  This haunting film explores the role of women and sexuality in Orthodox Judaism.  Two women, one religious and one secular, become fast friends at a women's seminary.  When they perform a Kabbalistic ritual on their dying friend they awaken forbidden feelings in one another that force them to question their path in life.  www.thesecretsthemovie.com  http://gaygevalt.com/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=1166 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 http://gaygevalt.com/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=1165 OUTFEST and the community collaborators Congregation Kol Ami, Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation and Jews for Marriage Equality present the North American premiere of the documentary Citzen Nawi with a post-screening dialogue.   The film follows the turbulent life of openly gay political activist Ezra Nawi and his Palestinian lover.   www.citizennawi.com  http://gaygevalt.com/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=1165 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 http://gaygevalt.com/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=108 Bet Mishpachah welcomes everyone to our Saturday morning services.
