Visit Us
The heart of our community is the synagogue where we hold services for the whole family which are open and egalitarian.
Friday evening services begin at 6:00 PM in the summer, and at 5:30 PM in the winter.
Shacharit services on Saturday morning begin at 9:00.
On Shabbatot when we do not have Bnai Mitzvah, our services include creative prayer combined with learning led by a member of the community.
In addition, Kamatz [קמצ] is pleased to be able to host visitors to our community for home hospitality following Friday evening services. If you are interested in joining a family from our community for a Friday night meal, please contact us: info@kamatz.org.
