The innovative schedule of services offers every month a variety of worship modes and prayer experiences. We understand that we come to worship with differing prayer needs, often based on age, aesthetics, or type of spiritual sensitivity. This schedule has allowed more of our congregants to become part of the worshiping community at Temple B'nai Or. The schedule every month follows the same pattern. NOTE DIFFERENT SCHEDULE FOR SUMMER SERVICES ON CALENDAR.
