All of our services are open to the public, and children are always welcome!

Services are generally held in our beautiful sanctuary with the occasional outdoor service when weather permits. When you enter, greeters are there to welcome you and to give you a bulletin that provides information about upcoming events at SFS. Please introduce yourself to the greeter as a newcomer, and ask any questions that you may have.

Our greeter can seat you with other congregants, if you wish, or can introduce you at our Oneg Shabbat. We do encourage people to sit together and close to the front, but feel free to sit anywhere.

Tallitot (prayer shawls) and kippot (head coverings) are available to both men and women to wear during the service, but are not required.

Our services are very participatory. We invite guests to join in the prayers and sing along with us, as much as you are comfortable. Our Rabbi will guide you as we move through the service. Our prayer book has the readings in English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew, so most people can follow along easily, even those unfamiliar with Hebrew.

Our Cantor leads us in song, and even if you “don’t sing,” you will find our service music contagious. We hope you will at least hum along as you experience the uplifting and beautiful voice of our Cantor!
