Shabbat Pasión: The First Friday of Each Month
With a fusion of Jewish lyrics and melodies with Latin-Cuban rhythms, Beth David’s unique Shabbat Pasión service provides a very special way to access the optimism and joy of Shabbat.
The service is led by Rabbi Julie Jacobs, who came up with the concept for Shabbat Pasión in response to living in Miami, the capitol of Latin America. She and talented professional musicians Dylan Schiavoni, Omar Hernandez, Michel Gonzalez, and Ivan Zervigon, create new pathways for you to experience the joy of Shabbat.
Shabbat Pasión is intended for all ages, offers childcare during the service, and is followed by a catered dinner featuring homemade challah made by the Beth David Brotherhood.
Shabbat Pasión is free and open to the public. If you wish to stay for dinner, please register here!!!
Daily Minyan Services
“While praying, listen to the words very carefully. When your heart is attentive, your entire being enters your prayer without your having to force it.” — Nachman of Breslov
We hold Minyan Services every day, made up of our members, visitors to the community, and those who require the presence of a minyan while they are in mourning. Everyone is welcome.
Praying together — tefillah b’tzibbur — creates a powerful sense of community. As one member explained, "No matter who you are or whatever you do, when you walk into the Minyan, you have exactly the same goal.”
Newbies are welcome! While we have some members who are completely at ease on the bimah, we also are a great place for those who are new to minyan services to gradually and comfortably become a confident member of the group. Come, learn the rituals and the power of Minyan services! For service times and a link to virtual services, please scroll down.
Zoom Access

We started to hold services on Zoom in response to the pandemic. What we discovered was that Zoom enabled our members to attend services no matter where they happened to be. It is now one of our permanent pathways to spirituality. All services are available on Zoom.
