Beth Torah is...
...a participatory and egalitarian synagogue, where congregants lead services with Rabbi Zelony, and serve as weekly Torah readers. Men and women share equally in all aspects of religious observance, and you will frequently find recent Bar and Bat-Mitzvah “graduates” on the bimah leading or reading.
Community Shabbat services at Beth Torah are primarily congregant led and there are many opportunities to get involved. For more information on leading the services, please contact us at Ritual–VP@congregationbethtorah.org or call the Rabbi’s office (972.234.1542 ext 227) Monday through Friday, 8AM to 3PM.
