Family Shabbat Dinner, Tot Shabbat, and Grade 4 Leading Services

/in ,

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.

Tot Shabbat and Grade 5 Family Services

/in ,

On Friday, February 1, students of The Temple’s 5th grade led Shabbat family services.  They made a special presentation on modern day prophecy and how they are repairing the world.  As with all of our family services, Rabbi Rapport led a special Tot Shabbat for our younger members to celebrate Shabbat.

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. Led by the older students, only one service is held for the entire congregation. Twice a year, usually at the beginning and end of the school year, we hold a more relaxed and informal “Blue Jean Shabbat”.
