Beginning Religious School represents the start of a new chapter in a child’s life and the life of their family. It is our hope that we will be writing many lovely and meaningful notes on the pages of that chapter over the course of many years in our community!
To formally recognize this milestone, we invite ALL families, especially those with children starting Religious School this year, to join us for a special Shabbat Consecration Ceremony. The ceremony will take place in conjunction with our Shabbat@WHC celebration. During this service each new student will receive a special blessing on the bimah and a gift from our community.
If you have a child new to Religious School, please RSVP below.
At 6:00 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.
Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, Jenga, and cornhole games, create at a coloring table, and do other arts & crafts activities.
6:30 pm – Our Shabbat service begins.
Watch the Livestream
After the service – Stay for dessert, or more dinner and drinks!
Special thanks to our musicians who add so much to the service. We wouldn’t have them without the support of the Irene & Abe Pollin Music Program Initiative.
This week’s featured menu items include: (GF – Gluten-free, V – Vegetarian, VG – Vegan)
