The City Congregation for Humanistic Judaism celebrates Shabbat as a way 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 while marking the end of the past week. 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. A reading describing what Shabbat means to us that is included in our Shabbat services is as follows:
We appreciate light, bread, and wine on the sabbath.
