emple Beth El's Shabbat
Light service aims to be true
to its name and its catch
phrase: "a time to connect,
to catch our breath, to lift our spirits."
After the success of the first service
in January, coordinator Dr. Jill Syme
looks forward the two other planned
Shabbat Light
services, taking
place at
6 p.m. on Friday,
March 26, and
Friday, April 30.
"We are reach-
ing out trying to
touch those with
all different spiri-
tual needs," said
Dr. Syme, an .
Dr fill Syme
organizational psy-
chologist.
The service developed from talks
within a Beth El group organized by
Dr. Syme.
The group's participants were chosen
to meet and delve in to how spirituality
means different things to different peo-
ple. "Members are on a continuum,"
she said. "They include those who
attend services infrequently. They also
include those for whom tradition
means a Friday night service that puts
them into an altered state, for whom
the familiar liturgy is comfortable and
moves them."
Group discussions soon turned into
plans for the 45-minute-long, lay-led
services, with participants reading
prayers and group members giving the
sermon.
We have some music, some niggu-
nim, (religious melodies) and we use a
combination of traditional Shabbat
prayers and our own chosen readings,"
Dr. Syme said.
The Kaddish (prayer for the dead)
and Mi Shebeirtzch (prayer for healing)
are incorporated into each service. "But
many other parts of the service are dif-
ferent each time," she said. "We include
readings that we, as a group have culled
from different books or on line; read-
ings that touched us, moved us.
Some who attend Shabbat Light will
also stay on for the traditional Friday
night Shabbat service that follows at
7:30 p.m.
"We realize there is a huge segment
of the Jewish population that doesn't
belong to a synagogue because it doesn't
fill their particular spiritual needs," Dr.
Syme said of the service open to the
community. "Shabbat Light is for any-
one out there looking for a meditative,
introspective, reflective service. II
