Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) worship services at BEKI are traditional, egalitarian and participatory. All services are led by skilled and experienced members. The liturgy is the standard Conservative Ashkenazi Hebrew siddur as represented by Mahzor Lev Shalem and is supplemented with English readings and rabbinic commentary.
Doors open 20 minutes before scheduled service times. The building is accessible to those using wheelchairs and with limited mobility by entering through the front main doors on Harrison Street or through the East Entrance from the parking area via a sloped sidewalk or steps. The Sanctuary is equipped with a Hearing Loop. Children’s participation is encouraged in all services and Youth Services are available concurrent to main services.
For 2022: Guests and visitors are most welcome. However, advance arrangements are required. Active-duty military and police personnel, and full-time students, may enter with valid official ID. Children are always welcome to join us accompanied by their adults. This year, again, we will have a ticketless entry system. Individuals included on the membership who are in good standing will be on the membership list. All others interested in attending, including immediate family not included on the membership, extended family and guests will need to make arrangements ahead of time. Please contact our office 203.389.2108 x114 office@beki.org or download documents for further information. A schedule is presented below.
