When in person, The City Congregation holds Shabbat celebrations once or twice a month on Friday evenings at 7:30 PM at our Manhattan location. Due to the pandemic, we now hold them online often. Each Shabbat includes a 30-40 minute service followed by a presentation about a Jewish cultural topic, and time for schmoozing (when in person, accompanied by pot luck desserts). Guests are always welcome to attend our free Shabbat celebrations.

The essence of Shabbat is deeply compatible with our humanistic philosophy: to create a special moment in time when we set aside the work of our daily lives and rejuvenate our spirit for the week ahead. Our services combine modern readings, our own humanistic blessings, and original songs as well as familiar melodies with lyrics that have been adapted to reflect our humanistic beliefs.
The City Congregation honors the Shabbat tradition of Jewish learning by holding presentations and discussions on a wide variety of subjects, from history and the arts to ethics and politics. Whether led by Rabbi Tzemah Yoreh, members of the congregation, or notable guests, these Jewish cultural programs are always fascinating, informative, and fun (and free!)
Children of every age are welcome at our Shabbat celebrations.
