BAS congregants are encouraged to attend this half hour service led by Rabbi Bronstein so that we can welcome our guests and provide a communal experience for them. A special request goes out to our teens to join Rabbi Bronstein in leading the singing, and helping our guests feel at home.

The service is attended by 20-30 developmentally disabled adults from group homes in the area, along with their caregivers. It is followed by a specially arranged kiddush lunch, served by congregant volunteers.

Have you been interested in cultivating meditative skills as a way of quieting the mind, entering contemplative states, expanding self awareness, and having greater access to a direct experience of prayer that holds personal meaning?  We cannot promise that all this will happen after our first meeting, but what we can offer is a series of experiences with our congregant teacher to take place before Shabbat Tefilah in the Synagogue  from 9 to 10 a.m. It is our hope that those wishing to enter a contemplative path will have an opportunity to create an ongoing practice.

Dates: January 8, February 5, March 5, April 2 and May 7.

Our communal Shabbat dinner after the service is an enjoyable way to dine with old, new, and soon-to-be friends in the congregation. LAST DAY TO REGISTER IS WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19.

Join us for an hour of noshing, singing and stories for all ages as we usher out Shabbat. Dates include:
February 12 and March 5.
