Shabbat Morning
Shabbat morning is the heart of our week at Adat Shalom. We gather in community to lift our voices in prayer and song and find rest and renewal together. Our services are participatory and inclusive, blending tradition and creativity in ways that speak to every generation. Afterward, all are warmly invited to our member-driven communal Oneg luncheon—a time to connect over food and conversation. Whether you come every week or are joining us for the first time, Shabbat morning is a beautiful way to experience the spirit of Adat Shalom.

Shabbat Voices
Adat Shalom’s Shabbat Voices program brings fresh and exciting voices into our sanctuary to share their gifts with our community.
On special Shabbat weekends, we welcome teachers who challenge conventional thinking, artists who reveal hidden beauty, and activists working for justice in inspiring ways. Guests speak at services and then join us for deeper conversations after our post-service Oneg.
Mordecai Kaplan understood something we’re rediscovering: Jewish life overflows with richness that no single experience can contain. Worship moves us deeply, but it’s just one vibrant thread in the tapestry of Jewish civilization. Through Shabbat Voices, we weave in those other essential threads—creativity, learning, spiritual exploration, and world-changing work that brings our tradition to life in unexpected ways.
Join us and discover the voices that will resonate with you.
