Announcing a Change to Weekly Shabbat Afternoon Services Effective October 2, 2022
We are announcing that HEA will discontinue weekly Shabbat mincha services on Saturday afternoons, with the exception of mincha b'nai mitzvah. Attendance at Shabbat mincha has declined greatly since resuming in July. Shabbat Mincha/Maariv will continue to be an option for b'nai mitzvah. On those weeks when there is a mincha b'nai mitzvah, community members are welcome to attend. HEA remains committed to providing prayer services every day of the week throughout the year. Here is our weekly schedule: - Daily morning minyan: Monday – Friday at 7:30 a.m., Sundays and national holidays at 8:00 a.m. - Friday Evening services: Fridays at 6:00 p.m. (the start time will change after DST. There will be no Friday Evening services when there is an Azamra service.) - Shabbat morning service: Traditional service at 9:30 a.m., Shir Hadash at 10:00 a.m. Currently, we are offering Shir Hadash twice a month. Stay tuned for updates this winter when we hope to announce the return of Shir Hadash on a more frequent basis.
