Every Friday evening Temple members gather to greet the Shabbat. For Humanistic Jews, Shabbat is a time to slow down, connect to our Jewish heritage, and consider how we can become better human beings. We meditate, enjoy our traditional songs, listen to the rabbi’s sermon, and remember our loved ones who passed away. All Celebrations are held at 8:00 pm unless otherwise noted. All are welcome.
