The LSS Women's Tefillah group, probably the oldest in the United States, has been in continuous existence since 1972. It holds shabbat services aproximately 6 times a year, both for shacharit as well as mincha; begining each year with a gala service on Simchat Torah. This year, for the first time, it is holding a Megilla reading on Purim morning.

These tefillot enable women to lead services as chazzanit, baalot kriah....as well as gabbayot during the course of the shabbat morning or afternoon prayers. Often there are divrei torah given by the participants as well. The davening is inspiring and uplifting, adding a very spiritual dimension to one's shabbat experience.

Many 12 year old girls have chosen to observe their bat mitzvah in this "kehilat nashim," by leading the teffilot and layning the parasha and haftorah.

The LSS Women's Tefillah Group is compiling an email list for notification of our schedule of services and activities. If you would like to be on it or participate in an upcoming service, please email your particulars to LSSWomensTefillah@yahoo.com. (The list is NOT for women only, just the services!)
