 Shabbat Shira with Cara Freedman

Please Join the Kids Congregation as we welcome Cara Freedman, once a month to lead us in song and prayer.

Music can be a powerful tool, for helping our children engage Shabbat, as well as the way music strengthens community. Playing music can often express what words cannot, in a way that can only be described as magical.

Shabbat Shira is informal, participatory, and lots of fun. Designed for families and children (K-4), this Saturday morning service features songs, prayers, and a story or teaching based on the weekly parasha by Rabbi Libman.
All members of the community are welcome to participate. We encourage parents and older siblings to join us as well.

Mussar movement refers to a Jewish ethical, educational and cultural movement that developed in the 19th century primarily among Lithuanian Jews.

The goal of the Mussar movement is to release the light of holiness that lives within the soul.

Join us every Monday morning after 7:30am Minyan, as we study two main works of the movement; Iggeret Hamussar (Mussar Treatise) by founder Rav Israel Salanter and another important work, Messilat Yesharim by Moshe Chaim Luzzatto.
