The Mission Minyan uses a lot of singing in our services. No intstruments are used besides our voices.

The melodies that are used are at the discretion of whoever is leading services, so things really vary from week to week...but if you are familiar with Carlebach melodies, you will probably feel right at home in our Kaballat Shabbat service on Friday nights as those are popular choices. In general, Saturday mornings have us sounding a bit more traditional.

It really depends on who's leading services, and perhaps you'll volunteer...and bring us some new tunes! Contact davening@missionminyan.org to get involved.

And if you don't know much Shabbat music, don't worry. Regular visits to the minyan will help you get familiar with the melodies, and we've posted some resources here to get you jump started.

Learning resources
The following are some resources from the internet, as well as custom tracks recorded by members of our community. Obviously there are many ways to sing all of this liturgy, and this page will grow over time. Feel free to send in your recordings!
