Shabbat Friday Night Services

Israel, Hope and Resilience

Join us in person for Friday night Shabbat services with Rabbi Ross and Cantor Giglio. Services begin at 6:00pm. We hope that you can join our community at 5:30pm for a pre-oneg before services. See you there!

Rabbi Ross will deliver a d’var Torah and we will have an opportunity to say the mi shebeirach, read the kaddish list, and recite the mourner’s kaddish. If you wish to add additional names to the mi shebeirach or kaddish list, please email Sarah Legassey  by 12pm on Friday.


Dinner and Discussion - in person only
I just ended a week of touring Israel with 40 colleagues of the Central Conference of American Rabbis in a "Journey of Hope and Resilience." We held deep conversations with rabbis and members of Israel's Reform movement, and took in a range of first person progressive perspectives of the war's impact. Being here as I write, in Israel during this awful wartime, brought us into the spiritual dimensions of an unanticipated and unimaginable catastrophe.

At Shabbat services on Friday, February 23, I'll report back on our experiences, including how I distributed donations from CMI members. A light dinner will follow the service and we will close the evening with talk back and conversation. 

Dinner reservations are required and donations to offset the cost of dinner will be welcome. I hope you can join us.
