Inclusion Shabbat

Rabbi Foster leads this 30 minute service and we use a special, colorful siddur with shortened prayers in Hebrew and in English. Everyone is encouraged to participate, at their own level allowing everyone to enjoy the warmth of Shabbat. Open to the entire community. Click here to download the siddur. Contact Gerry Erenberg for further information. Zoom in, Meeting ID: 6954312474.
