Spiritual Life
Spiritual Life and Prayer
Consistent with Reconstructionism, our services incorporate Jewish tradition, while also challenging that tradition and building on it in creative ways. We do this in order to enhance our own lives and observance as contemporary Jews and to perpetuate our bond to our heritage. Our members participate in services, both on the bima and off. We also learn and pray under the guidance of Rabbi Toba Spitzer.
We welcome visitors to all our services.

DecDecember 12 , 2021Adult B'nei Mitzvah Class with Rabbinic Intern Emmanuel Cantor
Sunday, Dec 12th 7:00p to 8:30p
Wondering what exactly all those 13 year-olds have been learning as they become Jewish adults? Hungry to explore foundations of Jewish living, key concepts in Judaism, and what Judaism has to say on the “big questions,” like the afterlife, sex, spirituality, and social justice? Looking to learn from a wide variety of Jewish texts while building relationships with other CDT members? Then this class is for you! Our class will meet weekly on Sunday evenings for approximately 20 sessions, with breaks for holidays. Outside sessions, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to leyn from Torah, lead parts of a Shabbat service, and/or give a d’var Torah. Members may choose to honor their learning through an “Adult B’nei Mitzvah Shabbat” in June, but the nature of our celebration will be up to our group. Please visit the CDT website under “Learning→Adult Education” to register, and feel free to email Emmanuel at e.cantor@dorsheitzedek.org with any questions. -
