This Shabbat is a super-delicious, art-packed, movement-optional, song-based service. It’s a special service called a Shabbat B'Yachad, or what we’ve called in the past a Shabbat Mini-Retreat. Here’s the lineup for the morning’s activities:

• At 9:30a on November 8, the service will kick off with Shabbat Singing lead by Michelle Fisher. 
• At 10:00a, there are two breakout sessions available: a crafting workshop led by Deborah Kades and Torah Study for Beginners lead by Rabbi Laurie. 
• At 10:50a a second round of workshops led by Tae Kwon Do led by Dan Grabois and Shabbat Service for Beginners lead by Rabbi Laurie and Michelle. 
• At 11:40a, we’ll reconvene for the Torah Service and more shabbat singing. 
• At 12:15p, we’ll end with lunch. Bagels and schmears are provided and if you wish, bring a vegetarian potluck item to share. 

So come on over to synagogue tomorrow morning and enjoy yourself. 

And may it be for all of us a blessing. 

See you tonight!
Mit vareme grusn,
(With warm regards,)

All my love,
brian.
