Shabbat
"Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming, you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere."
Lionel Trilling, from a 1928 journal entry
Our Friday night Shabbat services are filled with music. During the summer months, members of the congregation may provide us with an instrumental Kabbalat Shabbat (Welcoming the Sabbath) service. We greet the Sabbath with the singing of lovely melodies, many of them from the beautiful musical traditions of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. A short Davar Torah (word of Torah) is shared from the inspirational teachings of Rabbi Joseph Telushkin and we conclude with a communal Kiddush.
