The brilliance of our liturgical ritual is to provide Shabbat as more than a time mark dividing our week by providing us a day of rest. The thrust of our tradition impels us to carry into each new week everything sweet about Shabbat: its joy, holiness, reflection, love of Jewish life, and especially its melodies. We promise that the Shabbat music done in the Congregation Shirat Shalom style will do all that and resonate when you unknowingly discover you are humming its melodies even during the week. Every Friday, a community of people from all over Las Vegas, Henderson/Green Valley/Anthem, step into our peaceful sanctuary. As outside noises recede, a joyful energy fills the space.
