Worship & services
Prayer you can feel.
Soulful, song-led Shabbat and festivals – in person and concurrently live-streamed, so you can join from the room or from your living room. Sit anywhere. Sing along, or just soak it in.
What to expect
Your first service, made easy
🎶
Music at the centre
Hazzanit Tara Abrams leads us in prayer with piano—often accompanied by Rabbi Crawley or one of our congregants on guitar—with familiar melodies, gorgeous harmonies, and room to find your own voice.
🪑
Sit anywhere
There are no assigned seats and no wrong moves. Come as you are, arrive when you can, and follow along at your own pace.
📡
Always live-streamed
Every service is live and concurrently live-streamed. New to Hebrew or new to shul? No prior knowledge needed.

Our siddur
Shirat HaLev – the song of the heart
Shirat HaLev is City Shul’s own siddur, created by an extraordinary group of congregants to reflect the way we pray together. Hebrew and transliteration make it easy to participate, while poetry and readings invite reflection, discovery, and moments to get lost in. It holds the melodies, voices, and values that make City Shul distinctive.
“
City Shul represents and embraces a Judaism of joy, of learning, thinking and doing. A Judaism of community.
— Rabbi Stephanie Crawley
