Torah Reading and Leading Parts of the Service

Service participation is an vital part of Shabbat and holiday services at Beth Israel. New readers are always welcome. You can make an important contribution to the Beth Israel community by signing up. Experienced, intermediate, and beginning readers all participate.  For those moving to the area, this is a wonderful way to get involved in the Beth Israel community.

There are two ways to get involved.  One is to talk with our ritual assistant.  We also use an electronic sign-up system through our Google Sheet here to reserve a Torah reading, Haftarah, and Service Parts (including Pesukei DeZimrah, Shacharit, Torah Service, and Musaf).

Of course, please be flexible -- sometimes we have last minute requests to participate for special reasons.  If we need to reassign your assignment, we'll contact you directly to discuss.
