Shabbat Services with Nefesh | שַׁבָּת

Spirit and soul, music and connection, joy and depth

Nefesh gathers in Echo Park and online for three Shabbat services each month, on the 1st & 3rd Friday evenings and 2nd Saturday Mornings. Following the service on Friday nights we have a dessert potluck Oneg to connect with old friends and new. Saturday mornings begin with a lively, all ages Family Jam, with creative learning for the children during the Shabbat service.

ASL Interpretation and childcare provided. Registration requested. All are welcome.

If you are coming to Nefesh for the first time on your own and would like to let us know – we can help welcome you. Please email Melissa at melissa@nefeshla.org. We can’t wait to meet you.
