TOT SHABBAT and KABBALAT SHABBAT
Friday, June 10
6:45 p.m. Tot Shabbat
7: 30 p.m. Kabbalat Shabbat
Join us for Tot Shabbat and Kabbalat Shabbat - our final Friday night services before we take a brief break for the summer.
 Tot Shabbat is geared towards those five years old and under, but all are welcome.
Tot Shabbat families, we encourage you to stay for regular services:
Tots and their grown-ups will be invited to light candles together at the beginning of Kabbalat Shabbat. (Candle lighting occurs at approximately 7:40 p.m.) Then, feel free to stay as long as you want and leave whenever you need to; we understand that bedtime comes early for some tots (and their parents!).
