This week, Moses is told to call God by a special name. How do the different names of God open up different ways to relate to the divine? Our Friday night service begins at 6:00 p.m. and concludes around 6:50 p.m. This week I will lead the davening and share a teaching.
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, and Motzei. 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.
SHABBAT MORNING:
Curses, Foiled Again
Parshat Vaera (Ex. 6:2-9:35) includes many of the plagues that afflict Egypt. Why blood? Why frogs? We’ll explore some of the symbolism behind the Ten Plagues, and the role they play in the story of our liberation.
Our Shabbat morning service begins at 10 a.m. in our sanctuary, and you can join us in person or on Livestream. Lillian Goldberg and I will read Torah, Linda Dietrich will read Haftorah, and I will offer a teaching. Services will conclude around noon and will be followed by a kiddush luncheon. Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Lisa Feld
Simcha Shabbat & Kiddush
We encourage you to sponsor a kiddush to mark a simcha, celebrate a birthday, anniversary, commemorate a yahrzeit, honor an individual's accomplishment, or just to enhance our Shabbat. Since not every kiddush is sponsored, we hope you will consider a contribution to the kiddush fund so we can provide a kiddush every week. All sponsors are much appreciated and will be acknowledged.
We have streamlined this process to make it easier than ever-- come see our new kiddush sponsorship page on the website!
