CANCELLED: Shabbat in the Park with Shir Tikvah @ Overlook Park
Aug 19 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Last month it was rain. This month it is heat! Due to extreme weather, Shabbat in the Park has been cancelled.

When your bluegrass band can’t make it due to the temperature, you know it’s time to celebrate Shabbat at Home. We want all of our congregants and their guests to stay cool and healthy, so there will not be evening services at the synagogue on Friday the 19th.

Coming Together in Dark Times @ Havurah Shalom
Dec 30 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

We invite you to join us on Friday, Dec. 30, to welcome Shabbat, spread the light of the Chanukah candles, and share our feelings, fears, and hopes for the difficult times we are facing as a country. For those of us who came together on the Sunday after the election, it was a powerful expression of community, and there have been requests to identify some next steps. It continues to feel premature to launch a specific action plan. Instead, it seems more appropriate to gather in community, listen to how we are doing, and continue conversations about our hopes and fears about areas such as immigrants and refugees, poverty and homelessness, climate change, equity, and gun control.

We will begin by lighting the Chanukah and Shabbat candles, sing some songs, and then spend our time talking and listening. There will not be a formal Friday night service.

Please RSVP here.
