Friday night services:
-
The First Friday of the Month:
An early service, open to all but with special content for young children.
The service begins at 5:30 PM.
We use Kol Hano'ar the new Reconstructionist siddur for children.
The short service is followed by a lively vegetarian/dairy potluck supper.
-
The Third Friday of the Month:
6:15 PM service Farbrengen Friday: The tradition of a farbrengen,
a joyous gathering for melody and learning in honor of holy Jewish time,
comes out of Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidism. The JCA’s farbrengen begins
with a Kabbalat Shabbat service in which we emphasize the singing of,
and absorption in, Jewish liturgical music over and above excessive words
of orientation and explanation--something that can captivate the spirit
even if you don’t happen to be an expert in this music.
Following the service, we have a potluck supper, and as we sit around sharing
our Shabbat meal, we sing zemirot and niggunim, (songs and wordless melodies)
and invite people to offer words of Torah and wisdom, and maybe even explore other
ways to experience our creativity in celebration of Shabbat.
-
All Other Fridays:
6:15 PM service in the long standing JCA style.
Prayers in Hebrew and in English from Kol Haneshamah.
On occasion the service will be followed by a potluck supper and a program.
Check the website or the JCA office voicemail for more information.
