Sermon of the week

Did you miss the sermon from Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service? Don't fret because you can watch the sermon of the week right here!

At Friday night's Kabbalat Shabbat service, Rabbi Greene led us through study of Shabbat prayers in our Kabbalat Shabbat service, and invited us to reflect on Shabbat as a Palace in Time (Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel), and how each of us can set aside Shabbat time with personal meaning and intention.

Women of NSCI Reproductive Rights Shabbat and Luncheon
Saturday, Feb 14th 9:30a to 1:30p
Saturday morning Torah study begins at 9:30 am; Saturday morning Minyan begins at 10:15 am; Reproductive Rights Shabbat Program and Luncheon begins at approximately 11:00 am. Reproductive health and freedom is a topic of current concern in the United States. Join us for the Women of NSCI Reproductive Rights Shabbat for study, lunch, and an afternoon of advocacy. Our weekly Torah portion is Mishpatim, which contains the verses regarded as the foundation of Judaism's understanding of life and the conversation about abortion. We hope you'll join us first for our congregational Shabbat morning Torah study and Minyan service, during which WNSCI members will have a special aliyah for the Torah reading. After the service, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch, during which Michelle Scheinkopf will share some of the many ways in which we as Jews can advocate for reproductive health and freedom, and Rabbi Leizman will lead us in Torah study to further explore what Judaism has to say about abortion. And for those of you who attended the 20th Annual WNSCI Retreat, this is a great opportunity to reconnect!
