Special Services

Chardonnay Shabbat
sponsored by SHM Brotherhood

In Judaism, the fruit of the vine, wine (or grape juice), represents the sweetness of life. Join us before services to say goodbye to the week that was, while focusing on the sweetness to come on Shabbat. We will have the opportunity to toast one another with Chardonnay (and maybe even some red wine) and experience the fullness of Shabbat.
Enjoy a wine reception before services on the following Friday nights at 6:30 pm

Hot Challah Club

Come just a few minutes early before services to nourish your body as well as your soul. Before services, we invite people of all ages to make a challah and while you are at services, the challah will bake. As you leave for home after the Oneg Shabbat, you will have a fresh challah to enjoy for the Shabbat.

Torah Readers’ Club

You can perform the Mitzvah of reading from the sacred scroll during a Friday night Shabbat service. Whether you are a recent Bar/Bat Mitzvah or if it was fifty years ago, we invite you to become a part of this special club and to help enhance our worship at SHM. To become a part of this special group, contact Rabbi Lewis at llewis@shmtemple.org.

Mentsch of the Quarter

Making Mentschs is one of the four “M’s” of our Purpose Statement. We will recognize one person every quarter as the Mentsch of the Quarter. His/her picture will be displayed in the front of the Temple and the Rabbi will bless him/her at a Shabbat service. If you would like to nominate someone for the Mentsch of the Quarter, please contact Rabbi Steinberg.
