"Summer Shul" Saturdays June 15 through August 3, 2013
For several weeks each summer, we move our 9:00am Saturday service into Rabbi Breger Hall from the sanctuary to enable us to set a different mood. We set up Rabbi Breger Hall as a Sanctuary: the chairs are placed in the pattern of a horse-shoe (concentric semi-circles) around a Reader’s Stand and the Aron Kodesh is placed against the Eastern Wall. This enables us to see and hear each other during the course of the service … and to find our worship strengthened by our sense of togetherness. Beat the heat and stay cool in shul!
Shabbat Babysitting
Saturdays August – May, 9:45-11:45am
We want everyone to have a great Shabbat experience. Should your child(ren) need a break, feel free to take them to Room 11 for some play time, stories and a snack. No charge.
Tot Shabbat

For families with young children, Rabbi Robert Eisen holds this special service with stories and songs. Some months include Shabbat Dinner after service.
Shir Hadash: A New Song
Third Friday August 2012 – May 2013, 5:45pm

Shabbat Family Experience
Second Saturday every month 10:30am
Share in this interactive, spirit-filled and participatory service led by children in the Religious School and Tucson Hebrew Academy. This program is a mandatory part of religious school, yet everyone is welcome. Participants lead services, discuss the meaning of some of the prayers and act out scenes from the weekly Torah portion.
K’Ton Time
Third Saturday every month 10:30 – 11:30am
This service is for young families to share songs, prayers, stories, games and playground time; then partake of a kid-friendly kiddush. Geared to families with kids ages 1 to 6, but every family is welcome!
Kaddish
“Magnified and sanctified be His great name…”
These are the opening words to the Mourner’s Kaddish, the words that have been spoken throughout the generations… the words that unite the generations like no others. Do you need to say Kaddish? Are you able to be there so others can fulfill this timeless mitzvah? Please help your fellow congregants by making a commitment to attend at least one morning minyan a month. Invest a few minutes of your time to feel good about yourself while helping others feel better about themselves. Kiddush follows morning minyan, Monday through Friday.
Gabbai
Honor yourself and your congregation by participating in services throughout the year as a Gabbai. Training is provided to ensure your comfort in being prepared for this special position. If interested in becoming a Gabbai, please contact Rabbi's secretary.
