Tu Bishvat Keshet: Celebrating the Birthday of the Trees
Shabbat afternoon and Havdalah, January 30, 4-6pm
Please join us for a Shabbat afternoon of learning, creative ritual,
and connecting with one another. As part of our Keshet series of
intergenerational learning and celebration, everyone is invited to join
with religious school families as we mark this time of the year with
conversation and ritual both enjoyable and relevant to our lives.
The restful and engaging afternoon will culminate with our bidding
farewell to Shabbat with the musical and magical ceremony, Havdalah.
