Audio for Shabbat services

This page contains resources which have been put together specially for the HPS B'Mitzvah programme and the numbering refers to Track numbers recorded by Rabbi Paul Freedman for that programme material.

However, it is a useful resource for anyone wanting to become more familiar with the Shabbat morning service and some of the most used blessings. Recordings for Shabbat Minchah (afternoon) can be found further below.

All the page numbers are from the 2008 edition of the Reform Judaism prayer book “ Seder Ha-t'fillot / Forms of Prayer”.
