A Taste of
SHABBAT, SHIRAH & HAVDALAH

SATURDAY, MARCH 26 at 7:00 pm ET
on Zoom

Cantorial Spiritual Leader Andrew Susman

We welcome one and all to this special service with Andy, filled with music and love. Havdalah is a very special tradition, during which we use all of our senses:
  • to smell the sweet spices
  • to see the flame
  • to feel the heat and hear the crackling fire of the Havdalah candle
  • to taste the sweetness of the wine
We combine some of the best of Shabbat through prayer, word, and melody - concluding with Havdalah, a beautiful service, ‘separating’ & elevating the holy day of rest from the rest of the week. We bid farewell to our Sabbath Queen and long for her return once again next Friday!

Join together with Andy and L'Dor Va-Dor to enjoy a real Sabbath treat, musically and inspiritionally!
