GOOD NEWS! Our ShabbaTune! series is ON … and in person!
Funded by the Jewish Community Foundation, THZ will welcome visiting scholar Rabbi Rayzel Raphael the Shabbat of April 1-2.
True to the series name, services (in person and on Zoom) will be filled with plenty of singing!
Pray, sing and rejoice with Rabbi Rayzel (Geela) Raphael during a Renewal Shabbat service on Friday night at 8 followed by an oneg. On Saturday, services/Torah study will be led by Rabbi Emeritus Richard Simon at 10 a.m., followed by an oneg. At 1 p.m. Rabbi Raphael will lead an interactive sing-along workshop focusing on women of the Bible and the Shechinah.
