FRIDAY NIGHT @ THE SHIA The Shul is famous for its outstanding SHABBATON PROGRAM. It attracts a diverse variety of people, including locals and visitors. Friday night dinners allow people to share the beauty and pageantry of Shabbat with singing, discussions, ceremonial foods and general warm ambiance. Through these Shabbatons participants are able to incorporate the beautiful and significant Mitzvah of Shabbat into their lives and learn more about their Jewishness in an informal setting. The Shul Shabbatons take place the third Shabbat of every month and are open to the public. Each month features a special theme and/or guest speakers. In the spirit of the sanctity of Shabbat we can offer accommodations if you're coming from a distance. We'd love to have you. Please call for arrangements.
