MARGATE – Congregation Beth Israel of Northfield will hold Friday night worship services on the beach at Huntington Avenue 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 26 and Aug. 16. The August date will be a combined service with Temple Emanuel of Cherry Hill.

Bring your own beach chair, come in your flip-flops and dip your toes in the sand as you chant the familiar Shabbat melodies led by Rabbi David M. Weis and Cantor Larisa Averbakh. The community is welcome and all are encouraged to participate.

The beach service is an annual tradition at Congregation Beth Israel, which was the first area congregation to offer a service at the beach. The Huntington Avenue beach is located behind the Margate Public Library.

In the event of inclement weather, services will be held at Beth Israel, 2501 Shore Road in Northfield.
