What to expect from a
Metivta Contemplative Shabbat Service:

  • After a introductions and greetings we begin the morning service with setting intentions and alternating chant and meditation.

  • Next we transition into the Torah service. Metivta's tradition is to do group aliyot. Attendees will be invited "up" to participate in any aliyot whose theme resonates with then.

  • The Torah service is followed by the drash (interpretation of the Torah reading) given by one of our service leaders.

  • Drash is followed by healing prayers and the Mourner's Kaddish

  • We close with poetry, announcements and kiddush.
