Contemplative Shabbat Morning Service

Led by Jeffrey Kessler and Laura Goldman
Join us for contemplative worship on the second and fourth Shabbat mornings of every month at 10:30AM. Our service follows the arc of the traditional liturgy, in distilled form -- with alternating periods of chanting and silence. After a time for personal prayer (Amidah), we conclude with a brief Torah drash, the Mourner's Kaddish, and a healing circle. A wonderful way to nourish and harmonize your soul through mindful connection with the Divine.
