    Bet Breira lovingly welcomes everyone to our Friday night worship services. Services are led by Rabbi Jaime Aklepi and Cantorial Soloist Don R. Bennett. We use the Gates of Prayer prayer book and encourage active participation by the congregation. Our choirs also join us for several services throughout the year. Frequently, our Shabbat services include the participation of those marking special life-cycle events such as bat or bar mitzvahs, baby namings and upcoming marriages. Guest speakers, visiting religious leaders and musical soloists also share with us from time to time. Following Friday night services join us for Oneg  and a chance to visit, enjoy refreshments and to learn more about Bet Breira House of Choice

     

    How goodly are Your tents, O Jacob
    your prayer houses O Israel
    Your great love inspires me to enter Your house
    To worship in Your holy sanctuary (Numbers, 24:5)
