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.
