The weather challenges continue. Out of an abundance of caution, we are pivoting Shabbat Morning Services, now called Hot Chocolate and Pajama Shabbat to Zoom. Friday night was already on Zoom. PM me if you need links.

Heads up. Given a forecast for Friday, Jan. 23 of a high of -4, we are proactively moving to Zoom only on Friday. Shabbat Zimrah will be next week, even more perfect since it is Shabbat Shira, the Sabbath of Song. We anticipate this Saturday to be our usual hybrid. Come in out of the cold and warm up!
