Join Us in Worship 

See the East End Temple Everywhere page for upcoming dates of our services.

Shabbat at East End Temple is a celebration of community and spirit.  We gather in our beautiful sanctuary for a reflective and uplifting musical prayer service. Our regular Kabbalat Shabbat service takes place every Friday night at 6:15 pm, and is about one hour and fifteen minutes long.  Using Mishkan T’filah, the Union for Reform Judaism’s current prayer book, our service weaves a combination of Hebrew and English prayers and modern and traditional melodies. Come join us in welcoming Shabbat at our elevating and inspiring service. All are welcome.

Shabbat Services in our Sanctuary

Fridays at 6:15pm 
All are welcome to join us in person as we welcome Shabbat.

• For online viewing, our services are streamed via Livestream.
• If you or anyone in your household are not feeling well or have been sick in the past five days, please stay home and attend the service online.

Select Saturdays at 10:00 am​

Other Shabbat Services We Offer

SIMCHAT SHABBAT 

One Friday night a month we celebrate Simchat Shabbat, an enhanced musical service featuring our own EET 17th Street Band, led by Grammy Award Winner Ben Wisch.  These lively services are followed by a community dinner, guest speaker or program and then a dessert reception.​​

TOT SHABBAT

For tots, infant through K, this is a special musical sing-along service for our youngest members. The service features singing, dancing and story-telling. Following the service, we have a Shabbat oneg with candle lighting, challah, and juice. 

FAMILY SERVICES

Family Services will be offered one Friday of each month. This is a lively and engaging Shabbat service created especially with children ages 6-10 in mind. A wonderful opportunity for families to have the experience of a Friday night service that is welcoming and accessible.​

SHABBAT BAGAN

In summer months we are fortunate to welcome Shabbat in Stuyvesant Square Park, just outside our front door. Join us in this casual setting for a condensed 30-minute service. Some congregants bring provisions for a Shabbat picnic dinner in the park.

SATURDAY MORNINGS

In coordination with our B’nei Mitzvah schedule, we offer services on selected Saturday mornings.

SH’MA HAVDALAH

On occasional Saturday evenings, we gather for a brief service to end Shabbat, followed by a potluck dinner. This special service was created by the members of our Sh’ma Project, EET’s community organizing cohort. This informal approach offers a unique opportunity to come together in prayer, conversation, and noshing, while serving to strengthen the EET community. Families are welcome to attend together.

Family Offerings

“The Best Kid-Friendly Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Celebrations in New York”

Our High Holy Days are filled with an abundance of joy, reflection, and connection. We worship in person and online, creating a sense of shared time and purpose.

All services and programs will take place at Hebrew Union College, 1 West 4th Street — see registration form for full schedule.

YOUNG FAMILY SERVICE (ages 0-5)

Led by Tkiya
A lively yet intimate service conducted in a sing-a-long format, geared towards families with children ages 0-5.
Tots and their parents join together in celebrating the holidays with songs, prayers, and stories.

FAMILY SERVICE (ages 6-11)

Led by Rabbi Joshua Stanton and Cantor Olivia Brodsky
A fun and engaging service geared towards families with children in 1st-5th grades (ages 6-11).
The experience is much like a regular service, with many of the traditional prayers as well as readings from the Torah. An excellent opportunity to allow young children to actively participate in a real High Holy Day service that is both age appropriate and very meaningful.
