Religious Services at OZ
We offer a full compliment of religious services, from daily minyan to Shabbat and Festival worship.

Our Friday evening service is "havurah-like". All present are encouraged to participate in tuneful and meaningful liturgical songs, often accompanied by guitar. These services are led by Rabbi Joshua, and Associate Rabbi David. Small children are encouraged to attend, as are their parents. All Friday evening services begin at 6:00pm.

Our Shabbat morning service is traditional, without the use of instrumental accompaniment. This worship service includes removing the Torah ceremoniously from the Ark. After a procession around the sanctuary, the Torah scroll is read using ancient melodies of biblical cantillation (trope). Following services, we all enjoy a Kiddush where we greet our neighbors with a "Shabbat Shalom". All Saturday morning services begin at 9:00am.

Our daily minyan service is held every evening at 7:00pm and additionally on Sunday morning at 9:00am. By attending these services, we offer support to members of our community who are saying Kaddish for a deceased family member.
