Teen Shabbat: Kabbalat Shabbat

Passionately traditional, boldly innovative, and deeply spiritual, Shabbat services at BJ are like no other. On this Shabbat, our service will be teen-led, empowering and highlighting our teen community.

If you would like to follow along with our services from home, download a free PDF of Siddur Lev Shalem, our prayer book for all Shabbat services, for your own personal use. If you would prefer a physical copy, the siddurim are available for purchase via the Rabbinical Assembly website.

We are pleased to share the following alternative to Mourner’s Kaddish, written by Rabbi Haim Ovadia, meant to be recited when there is no minyan present. As our livestream does not constitute a minyan, we invite those who are saying Kaddish this Shabbat to print this prayer in advance of tuning in.
