THIS IS ARE TYPICAL SCHEDULE. WE DO FROM TIME TO TIME HAVE OUR TORAH STUDY VIRTUALLY.
We have services once a month . Currently events & services are lay-lead, as we are currently without a Rabbi, but are so lucky to have excellent services & Torah studies with Leigh Crow, our spiritual leader. Leigh is musically talented & a wonderful person to lead us over the next year. Her knowledge of Judaism is incredible & she puts in so much time working on each month’s services/study/etc. We are more than fortunate to have her in our congregation.
Our monthly Shabbat schedule will be the same (unless otherwise noted):
FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE (KABBALAT SHABBAT): 6pm Fellowship 6:30pm Services (Oneg to follow services: an Oneg is a celebrating of the Sabbath. Typically we will have some wine/juice, and something sweet. We also enjoy having other types of snacks, such as hummus and veggies.)
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: A change from regular services. These evenings include a meaningful discussion, along with an Oneg (light snacks & dessert).
BAGELS & TORAH : 10:30am Join us in our discussion on the week’s Torah portion led by a different member each week. (Once we’ve hired a new Rabbi, we will go back to a service & a learning session, along with a potluck lunch.
