Join Us in Worship 

See our Calendar 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 Vimeo (direct link for desktop/laptop, free Vimeo app required for mobile devices)
• 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 families with children ages birth-5, 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. 

SHABBAT B’YACHAD: INTERGENERATIONAL SHABBAT

On the first Friday of each month, we’ll welcome Shabbat with music and stories for all ages! We will start with a pre-neg snack before services at 5:45pm, and begin singing together to welcome Shabbat at 6:15pm. This service is designed for all ages to worship together, and will include songs, stories, and birthday blessings.

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 Bet 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”

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.
