Yakar's synagogue strives to be a twenty first century "shtiebel"- a house of prayer that is both intense and intimate, where a person might hear in himself or herself an echo of the Divine.

Join us for rhapsodic, chatter-free, meditative prayer. 

Kabbalat Shabbat

Mincha: 7:00 pm on Friday, throughout the summer.
