Shabbat + Holidays
Shabbat + Holidays are something everyone should experience. There is a palpable spark of energy. It’s a magic you can’t really describe but you can 100% feel. Shabbat experiences include a pre-meal pluralistic ritual observance. In addition to student led prayer services, we also offer student-led Torah portion discussions.
