Friday morning:  Rabbi Farkas will be visiting with our Nursery School children.   

Friday evening at  5:15 pm: Rabbi Farkas will join in Shabbat Hamudim with Rabbi Ari, Cantor Mordecai and  families with young children, to welcome Shabbat. Friday evening  beginning at 5:50 pm  Minhah, Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv: Rabbi Farkas will be giving a D'var Torah.

Kiddush will be followed by a  Community Question and Answer Session with Rabbi Farkas in the Milstein Sanctuary beginning about one hour after the start of Kiddush. Supervised activities for children will take place downstairs beginning at 12:45 pm until 2:45 pm so that parents can attend. 

Note, there will be an extended community Kiddush, so for those who would like to continue celebrating, and also for any other members who cannot attend the Q&A on Saturday, we have scheduled a second Q&A session on Sunday (see details below).

Your input in the Rabbi Search process is critical. We will be reaching out to you to complete a survey and will be holding a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, March 21 at 7:30 in the Milstein Sanctuary to hear your thoughts. More details will follow. You should also feel free to personally reach out to any member of the Rabbi Search Committee whose names are set forth below. We very much want to hear from you!

 

We look forward to seeing you this weekend at as many events as possible.

Sincerely,
