Celebrating Shabbat

Shabbat Meditation Before Tefilah

Have you been interested in cultivating meditative skills as a way of quieting the mind, entering contemplative states, expanding self awareness, and having greater access to a direct experience of prayer that holds personal meaning?  We cannot promise that all this will happen after our first meeting, but what we can offer is a series of experiences with our congregant teacher to take place before Shabbat Tefilah in the Synagogue  from 9 to 10 a.m. It is our hope that those wishing to enter a contemplative path will have an opportunity to create an ongoing practice.

Dates: February 5, March 5, April 2 and May 7.

This is an opportunity to celebrate and get to know the BAS community better, as Day School and Hebrew School families are warmly invited to participate. For the lower grades there will be a special family-friendly Kabbalat Shabbat Service. The older grades will join the regular service. Services are followed by a Shabbat dinner and will include a short, fun program between dinner and dessert, singing and maybe even some dancing. Services start at 6:15pm.
