KABBALAT SHABBAT
6:30 p.m.
This in-person service will also have Zoom access. 

Join Rabbi Sharfman and Cantorial Soloists Scott Leader and Eric Goldman who will be on the bimah. May birthdays and anniversaries will be celebrated. And, a special blessing for those traveling to Israel with Rabbi.

We encourage you - and welcome you - to attend services in person. Zoom will be available to those who are out of town or can’t physically attend.

We look forward to welcoming Shabbat with you!

Young families: We know services often end too late for your little ones.
Please feel free to come, stay to light candles at the beginning of services, and leave whenever you need to.

********************
Do you have a child graduating this year? Rabbi would also like to do a special blessing for them. Please let us know!
Erica and Jared Erman's videos for Shabbat candle lighting, Kiddush, and Motzi
 
Thank you to Erica and Jared for welcoming us in their home. Erica mentions some of the reasons we have two loaves of challah on Shabbat, to which we add that there are two commandments regarding Shabbat in the Torah: Shamor (Keep Shabbat) and Zachor (Remember Shabbat). 
 
We hear these in L'cha Dodi, too, when we learn that these two commandments were given in one breath!
