Erev Shabbat Shira Service
Friday, January 26 at 6:30 PM
We are delighted to have Shabbat Shira (Shabbat in Song) which commemorates the time in our people's history when the Israelites crossed the parted sea and sang the song of freedom - Mi Chamocha.
We'll have a short Kabbalat Shabbat service and immediately following we'll have a special guest band,
No|Ya put on a concert. They are a 3-piece band that creates ambient-style music with solo features on top. The soloist of the band is our very own Alan Chen, who plays violin for us on the High Holy Days. You don't want to miss this fun service!
