Shabbat Across America
Four local synagogues will be partici-
pating in the National Jewish Outreach
Program's Shabbat Across America-
Canada program on March 4. The syn-
agogues will be linking up with approx-
imately 600 other North American
locations as well as military bases
around the world for a national celebra-
tion of the Sabbath.
Area synagogues include
Congregations B'nai Moshe and Beth
Ahm in West Bloomfield, Congregation
Beth Tephilath Moses in Mt. Clemens
and the University of Michigan Hillel in
Ann Arbor.
Shabbat Across America-Canada
allows Jews — many of whom have
never enjoyed any Sabbath experience —
to come together to get a real taste of one
of Jewish tradition's greatest treasures,"
said Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald,
founder and director of NJOP.
"The Sabbath offers us the opportu-
nity to unplug from the distractions
and stresses of daily life to focus on our
spiritual well-being and to spend quali-
ty time with family and friends. In this
crazy, hectic world, I think we can all
benefit from putting some Sabbath into
our lives."
Contact individual synagogues for
specific programming.
