SHABBAT SCHEDULE

We will meet in our regular Bet Knesset location for Shabbat. All members and regulars are invited to attend. 

Friday night Tefillot will stay at a regular time, regardless of candle-lighting changing week-by-week. This Friday we will meet at 6:30pm.

Join us for Shabbat Tefillah with Torah reading (and a special reading of Zachor) followed by a Kiddush Lunch! Kiddush Lunch is generously sponsored by Baruch and Rachel Savin in honor of Itai's birthday. Mazal Tov!

Kids learning resumes 15 minutes before Mincha!

Join us for Mincha followed by Seudah Shelishit. Seudah Shelishit is missing a sponsor. Kindly considering sponsoring this meal!

Thank you to our generous sponsors from last week!

Join us as we delve into some of the most sensitive and profound details of Jewish national law, and explore how our lawmakers approached the most controversial and relevant social justice issues of our time. Text-based and ongoing, this course will offer an inside view of the legal system that provides the basis for our national vision of a just and truly free society.

This course will largely be based on the Rambam’s Laws of Sanhedrin, with a special focus on the commentary of Rabbi Chaim David Halevy, former Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv-Yafo.
