As we move into fall and the lead-up to High Holy Days, let’s freshen up our Shabbat services. We’d like people to consider leading, especially Friday night. 

There are service leader outlines in binders under the reading table in the sanctuary. Or design your own from either of our regular prayer books. Do it with a friend, or solo. Be creative!

Contact Debbie Kaplan (debbiecolekaplan@gmail.com) to set up Friday evenings or Dan Edidin (danedidin@gmail.com) for Saturday mornings.
