How We Worship ~ Shabbat/Sabbath - We meet for Shabbat worship on Saturday mornings, following the examples of Yeshua's first-century disciples who continued to live a Torah-observant lifestyle. Our services include reading from the Torah, reading and dancing. See Calendar. Holidays - We celebrate the Levitical and traditional Jewish holidays, including: Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Succot, Passover, Shavuot, Chanukah, and Purim. (See Holy Days and Observances page under Calendar.) Shabbat School - Educating our children is one of Yeshuat Tsion's highest priorities (Deuteronomy 6:6-7). During the message portion of the services, children attend age-graded Shabbat school. Our main thrust is to teach the children how to become believers in Messiah. They learn about Yeshua's teachings and gain an understanding of the Jewishness of the faith through study of the Bible. As our children approach 12 to 13 years of age, they may choose to make a public profession of faith through bar or bat mitzah or confirmation. Tithes and Offerings ~ We do not 'pass the plate' at Congregation Yeshuat Tsion, nor are guests expected to give. If you feel led to make a charitable contribution, a pushkah (offering box) is available at the sanctuary entrance.
