Join Us Tomorrow for Open Door Shabbat

Shabbat morning is the best time for Jews to come together, and the WORST time to feel out of place in synagogue.

 

Join ACI once a month for a no-experience-necessary Shabbat service, where we will explore the:

  • Structure of a prayer experience
  • Meaning behind key Jewish prayers
  • How to sing when you don't know Hebrew

Don't know Hebrew? No problem!

Skeptical about religion? We'd love to have you!

 

Haven't gone to synagogue since your Bar/Bat Mitzvah? You're perfect!

 

Join us from 10:30 am until noon for Open Door Shabbat on July 13. At 10:00, there will be a brief meditation service, and at 10:30 we will start the learning service.

 

If you have any questions, contact Rabbi Josh at [email protected].

 
 
Attendance at all sessions is not required; sign up at the link below.
