Shabbat at Temple Adat Elohim
At TAE, we love to create a sense of community through song and prayer! We offer a variety of Shabbat services every Friday evening, followed by a Shabbat Oneg (dessert reception).
TAE’s Band of Milk and Honey and Chorale participate monthly during our Musical Shabbat services. We offer adult, family, and young children’s services, all open to anyone seeking an enriching and rewarding Shabbat experience. Please find the Shabbat Services schedule here.
TAE uses Mishkan T’filah, A Reform Siddur, which creates a unified prayer experience while opening doors to spiritual growth on an individual, family, and community level.
Shabbat Evening Service
Pray and sing during our warm, relaxed, and “hamish” Shabbat evening services.
Our traditional Shabbat evening services offer a calming way to end a busy week and reflect on life. Bring your family and friends, engage in prayer, and learn something new. Stay after the service to indulge in Shabbat Oneg treats and lively conversation.

TAE’s community-led weekly meditation service weaves together Jewish and other meditative traditions to deepen joy, wisdom, and meaning. Practices may include mindfulness, lovingkindness meditation, walking meditation, morning blessings, singing Chassidic niggunim (wordless melodies), kirtans, and more. No prior meditation experience is necessary. All are welcome.
Starlight Shabbat
“Starlight Shabbat is a sensory experience; summer breezes and the scent of trees awaken a spiritual connection for me.”
Our summer services offer a refreshing change of pace and have become a favorite among congregants. In our beautiful courtyard, we pray as the sun sets and the stars appear. It has become a cherished tradition to wear white, bringing back the nostalgia of summer camp Shabbat experiences.
