Havdala
We are making havdala starting Saturday night November 1! Shabbat ends early enough for us to enjoy the havadala service at 5:45 PM minyan.
We light a braided candle, inhale the aroma of sweet spices, drink wine (OK, its grape juice), and sing, ushering out the Shabbat and welcoming in the new week.
Join us! Bring your family! Bring your children! Learn how to make havdala at home, so you can look forward to the new week year-round! Services begin at 5:45 sharp and end at 6:00.
