Family Shabbat

Looking for a child-friendly shabbat service?

Our Nitzanim community has grown amazingly in the past few years, and we’ve discovered that many of us want to get together more regularly for Shabbat and other services. To meet this desire, Ner Shalom, Reb Irwin, and Nitzanim staff have come together to offer monthly Musical Family Shabbat services.

In 2026, our gatherings runs from 5 pm to 7 pm on Friday evenings, and each time we offer a craft, a low-cost optional dinner (sign up in advance, or BYO picnic), blessings, songs, and a story told by Rabbi Irwin with great humor, warmth, and audience participation.

We will also be offering Saturday Morning Minyanim sporadically throughout the year.

Find the dates and ticketing links for Musical Family Shabbat & Saturday Morning Minyanim on Ner Shalom’s calendar.

Synagogue membership is not required for attendance.

We welcome folks of all ages to join us.

Any questions? Would you like to get involved? We can always use volunteer support from our community to ensure that these wonderful programs continue to happen and remain sustainable for our staff. Please email us at info@nershalom.org.
