Rockin' Shabbat and Oneg
Friday, Sep 5th 6:30p to 7:30p
Rockin' Shabbat has evolved over the years, but one thing has stayed constant: this service is full of spirit, (ruach in Hebrew). People of all ages, enjoy the live music and sense of community. The Kabbalat Shabbat prayers are chanted and sung a variety of melodies; some traditional, some contemporary. Sing with us. Dance with us. Let's bring in Shabbat together! There is a delightful oneg reception with refreshments, following the service.

Monday's with Meaning with Rabbi Zelony
Monday, Sep 8th 10:30a to 11:30a
We are excited to resume Mondays with Meaning class as of Monday, August 4 at 10:30 am. The class will be hybrid – both in person and on Zoom as we have done in the past. We are very delighted to introduce Rabbi Elana Zelony as teacher of the class. Rabbi Zelony is known as a wonderful teacher and her class will lead into the High Holidays. The class is titled: Thugs, Priests and Ugly Ones: Talmud Tales of Tshuva. If tshuva were easy, the Talmud wouldn't tell so many stories about people struggling with it. Learn from some less than perfect role models about facing our flaws and making amends.
