There's no standard length to it anymore than there's a standard length in Black Pentecostal churches - some lasting for 2 hours (And on other days, only an hour) whereas others last for 4 ...including the time of greeting before service and the fellowship meal afterwards and family gatherings/community connection after the service.Thanks for the info! What's the typical length (i realize it may differ depending on the congregation). When looking online I saw anywhere from 45 mins to 4 hours.
Hey guys. As the title says, I am going to check out an MJ 'Shabbat' (i think it's called) in the next few weeks. Just curious what I should expect and if there is anything I should know.
Thanks!
*sorry about the spelling in the title.*

Seriously, it all depends on the group and where you go. Some people do liturgical practices/prayers from a Jewish perspective and have a reading from the Torah - as well as long worship and intercession for Israel. Others may differ.
My area, very quiet introspective time upon arrival, 2-hour liturgical prayer service, a short meet 'n' greet break, an interactive teaching session (usually just over an hour) and then a shared meal - total time about 4.5 hours. The liturgy is done both in Hebrew and English.
One thing I find very refreshing is the view that worship brings on praise, not the reverse. (Mainstream churches & churchy MJ services work on the reverse idea that a lot of loud praise and even louder music brings on a sense of quiet worship - never worked for me).
I think I have see it... A whole lot of praise and carry on going on but little worship results from the experience. There is no respecting the awesomeness of God in it.
Ours is somewhat a standard Jewish service. Since our congregation is known for it's worship music, A LOT of dancing and praising The Lord with song. Was watching Fiddler on the Roof a couple nights ago and the wedding scene reminds me of how our congregation worships after the standard liturgy.
I enjoy worshipping with Chasidim, they really know 'how to get down'. I remember listening to a Dr Michael Brown audio where he shared his experience with talking with Chasidim in NYC. Brown and the Chasidim were so fired up for God they started dancing in the street. Brown was talking to them about Messiah coming and they got fired up.
