Soulful Shabbat Dinner
and Kabbalat Shabbat Service
Friday, February 3rd at 6:30 PM

We hope you'll join us for a simple Shabbat supper before services on February 3rd


We'll share the blessings we've practiced over the past few weeks and break bread together, have a Soulful Shabbat service featuring our BK Band, and have moments along the way to share blessings again even if you missed dinner.  If you are so moved to make our Shabbat truly a delight, please contribute to our oneg Shabbat (post-service dessert) by bringing a baked good from home with an ingredient list (please no nuts).  Gluten-free and other allergy-aware desserts are especially welcome and will be served on a separate table.
