Skokie Egalitarian Minyan

In addition to our main sanctuary service on Shabbat mornings, we now offer a second weekly Shabbat morning service which meets in our youth lounge.  Known as the Skokie Egalitarian Minyan, it is attended by people of all ages: singles, couples, families, teens and seniors.  The Minyan is an intimate, traditional service, committed to egalitarian and participatory worship. The Minyan has been in existence for 14 years, and recently changed locations and joined Ezra Habonim, the Niles Township Jewish Congregation.  Run completely by lay people, the Minyan service begins at 9:30 a.m. on Shabbat and holidays.

Although it is not officially a "learner's minyan," guidance and encouragement are provided to participants still developing their synagogue skills.  Children's programming is available beginning at 10:00 a.m.

You now have your choice of two wonderful services each Shabbat morning -- our dynamic rabbi, Jonathan Ginsburg-led service, or the Skokie Egalitarian Minyan.  Both are terrific options for you to consider.  Our world famous cantor, Benjamin Warschawski when in town, co-leads the main sanctuary service with the rabbi.  Both services end at the same time, which allows the entire synagogue community to be together for Kiddush.
