Services
Kavvanah Minyan
Our Shabbat liturgy is a rich collection of religious poetry, of deep yearnings of the heart, of individual and communal hopes and dreams for this world. Experience the joy of Shabbat as we bring the siddur to life. Engage in deep self-reflection, meaningful prayer and uplifting song! Join Rabbi Alex in Gottlieb Auditorium for this 90-minute alternative wellness service every month.

Mikvah
Mikvah, the Jewish ritual bath, is a powerful and ancient tool for spiritual renewal and marking moments of transition. Cleveland is lucky to house the Charlotte Goldberg Community Mikvah, a beautiful, egalitarian mikvah in Cleveland Heights.

Bereshit Havdalah
Havdalah is a beautiful weekly ritual and hearty feast for the senses as we bid farewell to Shabbat. Join Rabbi Alex and Cantor Alyssa Rosenbaum for our monthly Havdalah programming! Together, we'll bask in the glow of the Havdalah candle, breathe in the scents of the spices, and engage our creative energies -- through art, song, dance, and more!

Musaf Silent Book Club
One shabbat a month, join us for Musaf Silent Book Club, a chance to gather with your fellow readers in community. Bring your book of choice, settle into a cozy spot, grab a cup of tea, and read away! What’s the Shabbat connection? Every Shabbat, we put the hustle and bustle of our busy world aside for 25 hours of peace, quiet, prayer, and camaraderie. One of the most universal Shabbat leisure activities is reading — immersing ourselves in worlds created by words, not unlike our own.
