Rabbi Robbie will be conducting two learning Shabbat services to help us understand the prayers, their deeper meanings and the powerful nuances within their poetry. By the end of the sessions, we hope you will feel more comfortable during Shabbat services. Join us for these spiritual and educational Shabbat experiences. ______________
