Shabbat
Lake Shore Drive Shore Synagogue (Elm Street Shul) is a Traditional Synagogue with Modern Orthodox services. Our sanctuary seating is rounded with a low mechitza separating the women’s and men’s sections.
We conduct weekday services on Sunday and Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m.
Kabalat Shabbat Services start during the summertime at 6:00 p.m. on Friday evenings and we have a social gathering one hour prior to services. Please check our website or inquire with the office for winter service times.
Shabbat Shacharit services start at 9.15 a.m. followed by a Kiddush Lunch and an early Mincha Service.
We look forward to you joining us.
Holidays
The High Holiday season begins during the month of Elul, when the shofar is sounded every weekday morning, a clarion call to return to G‑d in advance of the sacred days that lay ahead.
The two-day holiday of Rosh Hashanah is the head of the Jewish year, the time when G‑d reinvests Himself in creation as we crown Him king of the universe through prayer, shofar blasts, and celebration.
A week later, the High Holidays reach their crescendo with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Like angels, we neither eat nor drink for 25 hours. Dressed in white, we pray in the synagogue—united as one people, children of One Father.
But it does not end there. The otherworldliness of the High Holidays is then channeled into the festive holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, which bring the annual fall holiday season to a most joyous conclusion.
