Shabbat Services (Simchat Torah Got Shabbat with Klezmer Band)

by

shabbat candlesKlezmer Music is noted for its joyous melodies.  One cannot hear the sounds of Klezmer without feeling the urge to dance (think “Hava Nagilla”).

For the second consecutive year, our celebration of Simchat Torah will be coupled with a magical world of Klezmer. Join us for a very special Simchat Torah service on Friday, October 28 as we finish the final words of the Torah and immediately begin anew, symbolically affirming our people’s eternal devotion to the teachings of our faith. Celebrate Torah like never before and enjoy an evening of music and joy.   This evening of celebration is appropriate for all ages.

Our Simchat Torah Got Shabbat is part of our 60th Anniversary year celebration and is sponsored by Julia Miller.
