We begin by inviting ourselves to enter into the presence of those who are blessed with G-d’s presence (the chanting of Ma Tovu).
A few songs of praise, both to bless our G-d and to bring our thoughts and spirit into the kavanah (Hebrew for full intention) we need to offer up our prayers.
The Shacharit prayer service, including “the prayers” of Acts 2:42.
Having come before our G-d, we prepare to hear from Him in Torah service as His word is read to us.
A teaching from G-d’s word, looking to what G-d would reveal to us by His Spirit through the agency of a human teacher.
Songs of worship as we reflect on what G-d has said and done among us. During this time we offer up private prayers and can ask the elders to pray with and for us.
Our service closes with reminders of our duty and G-d’s blessing.
L’dor Vador is Hebrew for from generation to generation. One of our goals / responsibilities is to pass on our faith to our children. With this in mind, we are firm believers in keeping all kids during the entire service. We know they cry, laugh, squawk, and are all over the place, that is okay, it is part of life and training.
Our attire reflects our attitude of worship. Both men and women dress modestly and joyously, as befitting those who would present themselves before G-d.
It is common for married women to wear a scarf or other form of head covering. This is a common practice in Judaism and among early believers in Yeshua.
Men frequently wear a kippah, a small multi-part head covering (or other head covering) in honor of the Jewish people and to recognize our submission to the Power of Heaven.
During the daytime services men also wear a tallit (prayer shawl). A tallit is a four cornered garment that allows a man to wear the tzitzit (tassles). G-d gave men this wearable object lesson to remind us to obey His Word.
The Oneg/Fellowship Meal is Dairy, Pareve (no meat other than fish). It is provided by the congregants, pot-luck style, and varies as each family brings what they are able. Guests are welcomed to go through the food line first and are not expected to contribute to the Oneg (though they are always welcome to do so); The L-rd has always been faithful to provide our every need.
To note, the food we partake of is considered kosher (fit). We follow the biblical guidelines and, as much as we can, use heckshered (labeled as kosher) ingredients.
