Welcome to Bet Alef Meditative Synagogue
Bet Alef Meditative Synagogue is an inclusive spiritual community practicing an evolving Judaism as a path to awakening. We foster a Jewish spirituality for all ages that support each individual, is realized in community, and manifests itself in our world as peaceful acts of greater compassion and love.
Kabbalat Shabbat Service
Our Shabbat services are offered online (see it on our App, Download here!) and in-person on the first and third Fridays of every month at 7pm PST. The services will be livestreamed here and in-person at Center for Spiritual Living at 6318 Linden Ave N, Seattle.
Shabbat services are the perfect entry point not only to explore Jewish tradition and spirituality through ancient and modern prayers and practices, but to take a break from the hectic pace of our busy lives and gather together to remember that we are human *beings* and not just human *doings.*
High Holy Days 5786
Teshuvah: Turning Toward the Silence
Welcome to the 5786 High Holy Days! We are glad that you will be joining us this year again, or for the first time. Rabbi Olivier has set the theme for the Days of Awe this year; “Teshuvah: Turning Toward the Silence” and will be guiding us through each of our sacred High Holy Days’ gatherings in a deepening exploration of what that might mean for each of us.
As we have done in previous years, our High Holy Days services will be offered both in person and online via live streaming. Our in-person services will be capped at 160 people so please be sure to register as soon as possible if you wish to attend in person.
S’lichot services will, as always, be free and open to everyone and will also be live-streamed for all on our website, our App, Roku and Apple TV, as well as on our Facebook and YouTube channels.
