The Service

We are all looking forward to welcoming you to the Newton Centre Minyan as Nadav becomes a Bar Mitzvah and Zohar becomes a Bat Mitzvah. The Newton Centre Minyan is an egalitarian, but otherwise traditional, highly participatory service. The Minyan consists of about 200 families whose members contribute their time and talents to create a supportive community of prayer, learning, tikkun olam, friendship and celebration.

Arrival time listed on the invitation is the official starting time. Plan to be there by latest 10am. The service will be approximately 2 1/2 hours.

Wearing a head covering: A kippah, or head covering is an act of respect to God and the sacredness of the worship space. Wearing a head covering is a non-denominational act of showing respect. We will have simcha kippot at the door that you may keep.

Dress: Most men wear slacks/khakis and a button down shirt; suits and ties are not required. Women wear a range of attire; skirts, dress or pants as you wish.

Electronics: Out of respect of the Sabbath, use of cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices is prohibited anywhere. Please DO NOT USE these devices. Photography is not permitted anywhere on the Sabbath.

Please join our family for Kiddush luncheon in the Cafeteria immediately following the service. The hall will turn over and you can make your way back to a table. Grab a shot of Scotch on your way into lunch

Pick up after lunch at approximately 1:30/2:00
