NEW – MEANING & MENCHES – A Family Shabbat Experience
Friday, Dec. 2 from 6:30-7:30 PM
Let the stories and lessons come to life as we explore how each week’s portion focuses on the growth and development of human character. This interactive service will provide families with wonderful food for thought and will be different each time as the portion and character trait of focus changes with the Torah.

This NEW hour-long service is held on the 1st Friday of each month and is best suited for elementary through high school-aged congregants and their families.   

Join us for a “pre-neg” from 6:00-6:30, and then a fun “Board Game Oneg!” after the service.
