Family Shabbat Dinner, Tot Shabbat, and Grade 4 Leading Services
So many families came to our Family Shabbat Dinner, Tot Shabbat and Grade 4 Leading Services. Shabbat Shalom! Check out more at our Facebook Page!
Family Services are held during the school year when our Religious School classes take turns leading services. These “Family Services” are usually held on the second Friday of the month and take place after a Family Shabbat Dinner.
Shabbat (the Sabbath) is a key part of Jewish life; it is observed as a day of rest and spiritual rejuvenation. Shabbat takes place from nightfall on Friday to nightfall on Saturday. In the home and synagogue, blessings are made and candles are lit to welcome Shabbat and signify the start of the festival. The Kiddush prayer is recited to represent the holiness of the day. Blessings are made over wine and challah.
