Our Friday night service begins at 6:00 p.m. and concludes around 6:50 p.m. This week Reb Josh will be leading the davening. This week we will share Rosh Hashanah memories. What moments in the liturgy, the ritual, and the home table stand out most for you? What personal traditions do you have for preparing for the New Year? Please join us prepared to share and inspire one another.
Our service is designed to create a buffer between the work week and Shabbat rest. We aim to make the atmosphere like a family shabbat table complete with Candle Lighting, Blessing one another, Kiddush, Motzei and Angel Cards. Before and after the service we take time to check in with one another and share greetings (feel free to log on early). Our service has been abridged for ZOOM but includes familiar and new melodies, readings from the margins of the siddur, and some learning.
This week we celebrate the b’nai mitzvah of Ben and Eli Weaver and congratulate them and their family in advance. Ben will speak about the Torah portion and Eli will talk about preparation for Rosh Hashanah as a model for preparation in our lives. Our service begins at 10 a.m. in our sanctuary (and sitting in our new, comfortable, chairs). Services conclude around 12:15 and are followed by kiddush luncheon. You can also join us on live stream via any one of the three links below.
