Evening Minyan

Help make a minyan! Give yourself the gift of a few minutes of thoughtful reflection in the early evening and help ensure that mourners are able to say kaddish.

We read in Psalm 69, verse 14: Va-ani tefilati l'kha adonai eit ratzon – as for me, may my prayer come to You, O Lord, at a favorable moment. The Talmudic sages ask, "What is a favorable moment?" They answer, "The moment when a community comes together in prayer."

Let us create a favorable moment together. We especially need your help during the winter holiday season.

During the time of year when it becomes dark earlier than 6:00 pm, we do not say a full Minha service. After a psalm and kaddish, we say the Ma'ariv service.

During the time of year when it becomes dark after 6:00 pm, we say Minha at 5:45 pm, Sunday–Thursday, followed by Ma'ariv.  We also say Minha on Friday immediately before Kabbalat Shabbat.
