Shabbat Services and Cultural Programs Our cultural Shabbat services combine contemporary readings with elements of tradition that result in inspirational and thought-provoking experiences. Our music is beautifully led by our member Michelle Lang Zalph. We introduce original songs and also preserve familiar melodies with new lyrics that are consistent with our Humanistic philosophy. For secular Jews, Shabbat offers a link to our Jewish culture and heritage as we set aside time for renewing our attachments to our Jewish values and teachings, our collected memories and hopes for the future, and our bonds with Jews all over the world.
