“God stands in the divine assembly.” - Psalms 82:1
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.

Shabbat Services: From Sunset to the Sight of Three Stars in the Sky
We welcome in Shabbat with Friday night services beginning at 7 p.m. These usually are traditional Kabbalat Shabbat services featuring much loved melodies. On the first Friday of the month, we offer Shabbat Pasión, which is described below (Only the months of September- June)
On Shabbat morning, we hold services beginning at 9:30 a.m. Our doors are open to the entire community, including newcomers and those who are traveling through South Florida.
We celebrate Family Shabbat Services for families with children on select Saturdays starting at 10 a.m. Experience services filled with singing, dancing, prayer, and laughter. Explore the beauty of Jewish ritual, give thanks, embrace your loved ones, and stay for Kiddush & challah!
Conclude Shabbat with communal Havdalah services, such as Havdalah in the playground! On select Saturdays, we celebrate the end of Shabbat as a community, kibbitzing until we see three stars in the sky.
Shabbat Pasión: The First Friday of Each Month
With a fusion of Jewish lyrics and melodies with Latin-Cuban rhythms, The Center for Jewish Life at 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 Center's Brotherhood.
Shabbat Pasión is free and open to the public register HERE
