However, if you would like to own your own copy, please click HERE to purchase your copy directly from the CCAR Press. (Please note that the book is also available digitally on Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.)

So, grab a cup of coffee and join us ONLINE at 9:15am.

Saturday Morning Worship Service led by Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein

10:30 am | Live and Interactive on Zoom

*ONLINE ONLY*

Meeting ID: 881 7402 8792 | Passcode: Torah

During our informal and interactive Shabbat Morning worship, we will dig deeper into the meaning of our traditional prayers and liturgical music, while including modern, interpretative versions that will challenge our understanding of our tradition, as well as a short Torah reading. Each week, we will include a prayer for healing and recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish, in case you would like to share your personal prayers for those we love who are struggling and those we have lost.
