Weekend of 5/24 — Adult Bnei Mitzvah & Outdoor Service

May 24, 2024 by •

Dear B’ShERT family and friends,

This Friday evening’s Shabbat service is going to be very special. Eight of our members have been studying together for over two years in our adult brit mitzvah class. Now that they’ve completed it, we are celebrating! Our service will include a Torah service with multiple Torah readers and divrei Torah. If you can come in person to honor these scholars, please do! If not, please join us on Zoom if you can. Mazal tov to Mary Lou Criqui, Janice Essa, Diane Figueroa, Sylvia Kaplan, Diane Kesten, Ellyn Rothstein, Charlotte Russell, and Phyllis Schweiger.

We will have a second special Shabbat observance on Saturday, with our annual outdoor Shabbat Morning at the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Center, 3301 Avenue U. Parking is limited. We hope to see you there (and we hope the weather permits us to be there)! Note there is no religious school due to the holiday weekend.

We’re expanding our beloved Tot Shabbat program!

Join us for a preview on Saturday June 1 at 10 am when our songleader, Ben Romano, will lead a music-filled Tot Shabbat service, perfect for ages 0 to 5.

Then, starting on September 7, 2024, Ben will lead Tot Shabbat every Saturday at 10 am.

For the younger, not-yet-in-school set, Rabbi Hoover leads a 30-minute Tot Shabbat service every Friday morning at 10 am during the school year. It’s a joyful way to get ready for the weekend and Shabbat!
