Friday Night Shabbat Services
Shabbat services are held every Friday evening. Most Fridays the service starts at 7:00 p.m. Please check our calendar for the dates of the services.
Erev Shabbat services are song-filled, family-friendly, and include readings in English, as well as Hebrew prayers.
Services are followed by an Oneg Shabbat (“delight of Shabbat”). The Oneg is a festive, informal social gathering, and is a perfect opportunity for us to meet you and for you to get to know our synagogue and our congregants. All are welcome-please join us!
Saturday Morning Shabbat Services
The Jewish Center of the Moriches offers Shabbat morning services once a month at 9:30, followed by a festive kiddush. Check our calendar for the next date.
People of all ages are encouraged to join us for this special Shabbat experience.
In particular families with children are invited to participate as this service is child friendly.
Our students assist in the leading of this service, displaying some of what they have learned in Hebrew School.
Shabbat morning services are also a wonderful opportunity for our adult members and guests to be called up to the Torah for the recitation of the Torah blessings.

High Holiday Family Greetings
Every year at the start of the High Holidays, the Deborah Familyhood (formerly known as Sisterhood) posts a High Holidays Greetings list in the lobby of the Synagogue.
This list displays the names of all members who wish to extend their Holiday best wishes to all members of the Jewish Center. Although, for now, our Familyhood has merged its activities with the synagogue’s, we are continuing this event as it is a large fundraiser and cherished tradition. Any contributions for the High Holiday Greetings will be very gratefully accepted. There is no minimum donation, and certainly no maximum donation! In recent years, the average donation has been $25 - $50 and all donors are listed on the greeting list. If you would like to be part of this Jewish Center tradition, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page and return it to Farra Isaacson as instructed in the PDF file. Please write your name exactly as you wish it to appear on the scroll of greetings
These funds in particular will go to sponsor Oneg Shabbats that are held after each Friday night and Saturday morning services. In addition, they will also contribute to our Yom Kippur Break-fast, which will be held this year on Thursday, Oct 2, at the conclusion of the Neilah service. All Temple members and their guests are most welcome to attend. The Break-fast is always a wonderful opportunity for congregation members to exchange greetings and wish one another a Shana tova, a good year, and to catch up on their families.
Your support of this annual fundraiser is greatly appreciated!
