Kabbalat Shabbat Services

Friday, November 16th, 7:30 PM
Our Shabbat services provide a perfect entry point for people to not only explore Jewish tradition and spirituality through ancient & modern prayers and practices, but to take a break from the hectic pace of our busy lives and gather together to remember that we are human *beings* and not just human *doings*. They are a regular oasis from our over- busy, over-stimulated, clock-driven lives, a time to rest, reflect, re-connect to and remember the Oneness that we are. They are also a bridge to carry our mind, body & spirit from the work-week into the fullness of Shabbat, and a laboratory to learn more about and experience the mystical Jewish path.

Shabbat Morning Celebration

Saturday, November 17th at 10:30 AM
with Rabbi Olivier & Chava Mirel
We will fill Bet Alef’s Living Room with songs & music, invite our members to chant from our cherished Torah, and debate the highlights on the weekly Torah portion. At noon, after services we share in an always delicious and abundant potluck lunch together. So bring a dish to share and join us Saturday morning!
