New Format Fridays
Experience Shabbat in a whole new way!
Last Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Glazer prompted our Congregation to propose new styles of welcoming Shabbat. We chose our top five proposals, and we are bringing them to life in 2023, with our Rabbi's support and guidance.
Mark your calendars for these New-Format Fridays -- come see what the buzz is all about!
In Person and on Zoom (Non-member Zoom access - register HERE)
Poetry Slam Shabbat
Friday, February 17, 7pm
Led by Dann & Jen Sklarew
This service will substitute poetry, haiku and short prose for our traditional prayers and readings. We are expecting to have some great original submissions from the Congregation.
Afternote: Poetry Slam was a great success! Want to see a Zoom recording of the whole service? Click here
Exploring Shabbat in Translation
Friday, March 17, 7PM
Led by Sarah Austrin-Willis & Diana Conn
Conducted entirely in English, we'll seek the heartfelt essence of our Shabbat prayers, with music that invites all participants to sing along.
Women's Voices Shabbat
Friday, April 21, 7PM
Led by Andrea Cate & Sariel Ende-Alonzo
We’re switching up the traditional Adat Reyim Friday service, to feature prayer compositions by women, led by women in our congregation. We’ll also share the composer’s inspiration for each piece of music.
In May, we turn the third Friday over to our Religious School!
Religious School Shabbat
Friday, May 18
Led by students in grades K-7 and their teachers
Join us for a joyful experience of prayer as the students in our Religious School share the songs and prayers they have learned this year.
Humanistic Shabbat
Friday, June 16, 7PM
Led by Russell Nadel
Humanistic Judaism centers Jewish ethics, culture, history and community, without making reference to God. We’ll use songs and poems to connect with Jewish tradition, express awe and hope, and acknowledge life’s blessings.
New-Format Fridays will take a break in July along with many congregants on vacation.
Davvening with Disabilities
Friday, August 18, 7PM
Led by Dann Sklarew
How can we make our Shabbat rituals/services accessible and reparative for everybody? During a conventional Shabbat service, we’ll demonstrate how Americans living with disabilities - sensory, movement, psychological &/or neurodiversity - might struggle through those prayers. We'll also simulate some practices to increase accessibility and enable everyone to celebrate the Day of Rest.
