Weekly Shabbat Service

It is good to enter into the spirit of the Sabbath, a time in which our personal concerns drop away for a few hours and we get a sense of the larger meaning of life and fellowship.

Our services last about an hour. They include interactive songs and readings, usually supplemented by a lively discussion on important subjects. Often we invite significant and challenging speakers from within and outside our community.

Friday Services

Friday nights at 7:30pm

Come join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Social Hall at Sacred Heart Catholic Church (in Brevard, NC off the Asheville Highway at 150 Brian Berg Ln.) or via Zoom.
