Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Fill in the short Visit for a Shabbos form on the site, which asks for a name and email, or email info@biozshul.org to ask about visiting..

You can just show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Shabbos morning services start at 9 am after a parsha class at 8:30, and children have their own groups on select Shabbos mornings. The Visit for a Shabbos page does not describe hosting, meals, or sleeping, so ask the shul by email first.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email info@biozshul.org with your questions before you come.
  • Check the posted times against the current schedule, since the site's times were printed for a September week.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The site has a Visit for a Shabbos form and an email address, and the contact page says the shul warmly welcomes inquiries. It does not describe what a first visit is like..
