Congregation Beth Hamedrosh - A Place of Prayer

               CBH is first and foremost a House of Prayer.  We have minyanim each day for Shacharis, Mincha and Maariv, and offer a full schedule of Shabbos davening.  The times of our daily minyanim and Shabbos services can be found on our home page. 

               Shabbos davening begins each Friday with Mincha, Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv.  In addition to our traditional minyan, we offer a Carlebach Kabbalas Shabbos service once each month.  Guaranteed to uplift your spirit and warm your soul, in our Carlebach minyan we daven the tefillot to ruach-filled melodies composed by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach.

Shabbos morning services begin at 9:00 AM.  There is both a traditional minyan each week and a “User Friendly Minyan” held once each month for those who have not had the opportunity to learn the prayer service.  This link will take you to a description of the UFM. 

In addition to the UFM, the shul has a “davening buddy” program, through which individuals who are unfamiliar with the prayer service are paired with a more seasoned davener.  Some helpful guidelines for davening at CBH can be found here. 

               Late in the afternoon on Saturday, we daven Mincha and then gather for a light Shalosh Seudos at which a member of the congregation gives a drash on some aspect of the parsha ha’shevua.  We then join in several zemiros and bench.  Maariv and Havdalah follow and complete our celebration of Shabbos.
