Oneg Shabbat means Delight of the Sabbath
We delight in good food and fellowship every Shabbat. At the end of our morning service we say the “motzi” and break bread and then everyone come into our fellowship hall, where we build relationships. Our Rabbi and others especially enjoy getting to know our guests during this relaxed time. We always insist that guests go first in line. Come and enjoy our hospitality!
During COVID-19, instead of weekly oneg, Beit Simcha will offer oneg for holidays with an emphasis on serving food safely. Our next special oneg is for Thanksgiving on November 21. Sign up here to volunteer as servers, setting up and tearing down or bringing food to share.
Beit Simcha also has havurah (fellowship) groups in homes, Bible studies via Zoom and Prayer Meeting via conference calls, to encourage building relationships, equipping and prayer in our community. Click here for details.
