Shabbat and Morning Minyan

We are excited to open in-person services to the entire PAS community, members and nonmembers alike! Wednesday morning services are available both online and in person and no longer require pre-registration. Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat morning in-person worship experiences require preregistration, and members will be prioritized for seating. We are limiting capacity for everyone's health and safety. For all services, everyone must continue to complete the health screen form and demonstrate proof of vaccination upon entry.

Please see our health and safety policies and the registration form if you would like to attend. As of July 30, 2021, masks are required for everyone – unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals – attending services inside PAS buildings, including worship spaces.

Cantor Schwartz Sings Sh’ma Koleinu (“Hear Our Voice”) 

The Summer Olympic Games are an example of youth in full flower, yet it is the nature of humanity to grow older. We are all on a journey from youth to wisdom, and one of our hopes, as expressed in this prayer, is that the compassion we show to our elders is visited on us when we reach their stage. We often hear from members of our community about how challenging it is to get old, especially in the last year, but may their burdens be lifted with these words. 

Who has been a source of wisdom in your life? Wishing you a Shabbat shalom.

The Light of Days - Women of the Resistance

While doing research on strong Jewish women at the British Library, Judy Batalion came across an old, dusty Yiddish book. Freuen in di Ghettos (Women in the Ghettos) was a thriller about “ghetto girls” who hid revolvers in teddy bears, bribed Nazis with whiskey and pastries, and blew up German supply trains. It would become the inspiration for The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos. PAS heard the stories and extraordinary accomplishments of brave Jewish women who became WWII resistance fighters.
