Whether you prefer traditional prayer, singing, Torah study, or celebrating the beauty of our natural world, there is a Shabbat at Stephen Wise Temple for everyone. Below, please find our offerings both for Shabbat evenings and mornings in our comprehensive guide to Shabbat at Wise.

Shabbat Evening Services: 6:15 p.m., every Friday

Shabbat evening services are a chance to check in with God, with our family, and with ourselves. They provide a rhythm to the week, a respite from our day-to-day lives, and an opportunity to connect with our community through song and prayer. Every Friday at 6:15 p.m., welcome Shabbat with us in person or online. We welcome both members and non-members to our services, which are livestreamed on our Facebook page, on our YouTube channel, and on our Wise Online page. You can see who’s leading each service by subscribing to our Eyes on Wise email list.

If you hear a particularly stirring sermon, or just didn’t get a chance to hear our clergy’s dvar Torah, you can listen and download our Shabbat sermons here or you can visit our complete sermon video archive.

Spirit of Shabbat

Saturdays at 8:30am
(8:45am on weeks with Mountaintop Morning Service)
At the Beit Midrash at the Aaron Milken Center and Online

Shabbat is a time for reflection, contemplation, learning—and most certainly, rest. Rabbi Yoshi and the Clergy team offer a uniquely Wise approach to Shabbat mornings that invites you into deeper spiritual connection.

Our 8:30am start time allows for meaningful prayer and reflection, followed by in-depth Torah study—no prior experience required! Each service concludes with a prayer of Kaddish, honoring the memory of our teachers and loved ones.

Newcomers are always welcome, and the class is offered on a drop-in basis—come whenever you’re able. We’d love to share a spiritual Shabbat morning with you.
Spirit of Shabbat is offered in person in the Beit Midrash at the Aaron Milken Center and online.
