Shabbat Vayinafash: A Casual, Musical, Shabbat
Join us for a family-friendly Shabbat filled with food, music, singing and community! Gather round the tables for a potluck meal, casual shabbat singing and music as we let the ruach – joyful spirit – of Shabbat refill our hearts. Join the band or enjoy the gifts of our community at this service that feels a bit like a spiritual hootenany! Our service will be led by Rabbi Rachel Weiss, Brad Moldofsky, and the JRC Jam Band!
Due to the limitations of the technology we use to transmit our sanctuary audio to Zoom, and the variety of music, amplification, singing, and speaking at this event, we are not able to provide a multi-access option for this service. Our Lay-Led Minyan will meet on Saturday, December 14 on Zoom if you would like to attend a Shabbat service remotely this weekend.
This Shabbat experience is different from “all other nights,” but will always include an opportunity to pray for healing and remember our loved ones with kaddish. See you for Shabbat Vayinafash!
You might recognize this as the last line of “Veshamru” (u’vayom ha’sh’vi’i shabbat vayinafash, https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.31.16-17). It references the 7 days of Biblical Creation, and recalls that the “work week” of creation ends as God ceases from work and draws a breath of rest and renewal.
