Shabbat Evening Services

Our monthly celebration of Shabbat consists of a combination Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv service using our own UHC prayer book. The structure of the serivice is similar to that found in many Conservative and Reform congregrations. Services are lay led with the entire congregation joining in. Our prayer book includes Hebrew, English transliteration, and English translation to promote participation and understanding. After services, the congregation joins together for a Shabbat buffet dinner (reservations & advance payment required).

Shabbat Morning Services

Our Shabbat observance is focused on Friday evening.  We are experimenting with occasional Saturday morning services to provide additional worship opportunities.  This also provides a learning opportunity for our young people who are studying for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. 

High Holiday Services

During the High Holy Days, we welcome our visiting rabbi, Rabbi Lenny Thal to lead our community in prayer and study. We follow the Reform traditions and liturgy during the High Holy Days, using the Gates of Repentance.  Our community gathers together for Erev Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Hashana Morning Service, Kol Nidre, and a full day of Yom Kippur worship and study sessions. Both Rosh Hashana services and the concluding service of Yom Kippur are followed by a community dinner. (Note: reservations & advance payment required; deadlines are up to two weeks ahead of the event.  Contact us early to avoid disappointment).   

Pesach Community Seder

Rabbi Lenny Thal also joins us for our celebration and observance of Pesach.  We join together for two community seders (one especially for families with young children) and we celebrate the Festival of Freedom with ruach (spirit) and joy.  (Note: reservations & advance payment required; deadlines are up to two weeks ahead of the event.  Contact us early to avoid disappointment).

Holiday Observances

We pause to observe the Jewish holidays of Sukkot, Shavuot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Tu B'Shevat, Purim, and others by gathering together in each other's homes and as part of the larger Jewish community in Singapore.
