Lakefront Shabbat
In the most JRC way possible, we move our Kabbalat Shabbat services to the Evanston Lakefront each summer. Imagine summer camp mixed with Ravinia mixed with a beautiful Shabbat service, surrounded by nature and with the backdrop of Lake Michigan each Friday from June 5 through August 28. Bring a picnic dinner and break bread with friends from 6:00-7:00 pm and stay for a short camp-like service from 7:00-8:00 pm. And new this summer, Young Family Shabbat at the Lake with Morah Debbie weekly from 5:30-6 pm. Check out the listings below for details.
Services take place at Elliot Park (Lakeshore Blvd at Hamilton Street) in Evanston, except for once each summer when we gather at Noah’s Playground (Sheridan Road at Central Street, next to Lighthouse Beach). Bring your own folding chair, picnic blanket and don’t forget the Ruach! Services are livestreamed on the JRC Facebook Page for those preferring to join us virtually. All are welcome! Lakefront Shabbat is a wonderful way to get to know JRC.
