Shabbat
When? Friday, June 18 at 6:00 p.m. Join Rabbi Grossman and Cantor Apt as they lead Shabbat evening services.

All are welcome. Pre-registration is required to attend in-person services. Sign up here.
When? Saturday, June 19 at 9:30 a.m. in-person, on Zoom and LiveStream. Join us for Shabbat morning services and a special edition of “Torah Talks” with Rabbi Amy Scheinerman.
