Shabbat Service and Program

Note:  We will be collecting canned and other nonperishable food donations at each monthly Shabbat.  All donations will go to the Jewish Social Services Agency to benefit those in need in the metropolitan area.

2009-2010 Shabbat Programs will be 10/2, 10/30, 12/18, 1/22, 2/19, 3/12, 4/9, and 5/7

Schedule

6:45 pm:  Tot Shabbat, under the supervision of Joe Gitchell and Elizabeth Mumford, begins in the Library, just across the hall from the Fireside Room on the mezzanine at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation (RRUUC).

MAY PROGRAM TOT SHABBAT ONLY!

7-8 pm:  A light supper costing $12 per adult (post-mitzvah and older) and $6 per child (ages 6-12) will be set out buffet style in RRUUC's mezzanine-floor Fireside Room at 7. Those wishing to join in are asked to sign up by contacting Ken Jacobson(by email at kenjacobson@hotmail.com) before noon on Thursday, January 21. Food will be put aside for diners who will be attending the Tot Shabbat service, which is likely to end after the 7 o'clock start of the supper; signaling an expected late arrival when signing up for the supper is likely to be a wise step.

8-8:25 pm:  Beth Chai's Shabbat service - featuring a humanistic Kiddush, thought-provoking readings, roles for children wishing to participate, and song leader Andrea Foster.

8:30 - 9:30:  A discussion aimed at finding ways to revitalize Beth Chai's Shabbat gatherings.

Location of all Beth Chai Shabbats (unless otherwise indicated): Beth Chai Congregation at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 6301 River Rd. (entrance to parking lot from Whittier Blvd.), Bethesda.
