Congregation Darchei Noam

Relaxation Qi Gong with Thelma Feldman Jewish Meditation with Miriam Bester

Prepare for services by attending this collaborative discussion about the parashah of the week. Special guest teachers lead the discussion on selected Shabbatot. Open discussions and group learning are offered on all other Shabbatot.

The core activity of our synagogue, Darchei Noam’s Shabbat morning services use the Reconstructionist prayerbook "Kol Haneshamah Shabbat v’Chagim". The prayer service follows the traditional structure of davening from Birchot Hashachar and the Amidah, right through to the Reading of the Torah and Mourners’ Kaddish. In addition to inspiring divrei torah by Rabbi Tina Grimberg, Darchei Noam's B’nei Mitzvah youth, and other congregants, our services are enriched by the beautiful chanting voices of our many talented service leaders. All Shabbat services are egalitarian and child-friendly, and are followed by the traditional blessings over wine and challah, and a delicious Kiddush lunch.

Jenny Isaacs concludes her second year as Darchei Noam’s Social Justice Scholar-in-Residence. She will offer the D’var Torah: You Are But Strangers Resident with Me: Treating the Land and One Another with Respect. She will then facilitate an interactive after-Kiddush exploration of her theme.

Our unique ShabbaTOT experience features programming specially designed to enhance the Shabbat experience of our youngest Darchei Noam members. Join us for a spirited and interactive family experience that features song, dance and crafts.
