Tomorrow, Saturday October 10th
Open Door Shabbat at 10:00am
Book Club following Kiddush at 12pm

Join the ACI community once a month for a no-experience-necessary Shabbat service, where we will explore the structure and meaning behind the prayer service.

Shabbat morning is the best time for Jews to come together, and the WORST time to feel out of place in synagogue.

-Structure of a prayer experience
-Meaning behind key Jewish prayers
-How to sing when you don’t know Hebrew

Don’t know Hebrew? No problem!

Skeptical about religion? We’d love to have you!

Haven’t gone to synagogue since your Bar Mitzvah? You’re perfect!

Join for book club! Come on Saturday, October 10th, 2026

Come for Open Door Shabbat, and then stay for book club following Kiddush.

This gives people another week to read the book if you would like to join us. We will discuss I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. You can purchase it from The Strand or Amazon, or request it from Queens Public Library. It is also available as a six-hour audiobook.

It is a relatively short read/listen at just 208 pages.

See you next week!
