Kabbalat Shabbat

Throughout the year, Congregation Beth El holds Kabbalat Shabbat / Friday evening services at a variety of venues and times so families with young children can participate in all of our worship experiences. Our programs like Shabbat Babayit, Shabbat in the Park, Young Family Fridays, Neshama Service & Dinner, and more, are designed to create meaningful, engaging, and fun Shabbat experiences for our Beth El families with young children.
