Shabbat
Shabbat at Woodlands is a celebration. And every Shabbat is a new experience. Some weeks it's A Joyful Noise. Other weeks it's a Mishpakha Shabbat service. Sometimes we turn to Makom Shelibi Oheyv, the newest in the series of prayer books—siddurim—our members have created over the last 45 years. Other times we revisit the "yellow," "brown," "orange," or "flowers" siddurim—or test out the new "beta" version of an updated selection of readings from those early prayer books. And sometimes we forego the printed page entirely for Visual Worship, turning our attention to two large screens above the bimah—and to our fellow participants in the Woodlands Shabbat experience: creative, passionate, joyful, innovative, and intensely participatory.
In this section you'll find an annotated schedule of upcoming services, descriptions of some of our special approaches to Shabbat services, and a look at how our siddurim came to be.
A Joyful Noise
In the mood for a Shabbat service that’s got a “beat”? If so, “A Joyful Noise” is for you.
Mishpakhah
When you think mishpocheh, you’re probably remembering the Yiddish phrase, “the whole mishpocheh” meaning the whole, big extended family.
Kidz Shabbat
Kidz Shabbat is proof that no one’s too young—or too old—to be an active participant in life at Woodlands.
