Monthly Shabbat Meetings

One Friday or Saturday evening a month, we offer either a Shabbat service (which includes humanistic, secular blessings over candles, challah and wine) and/or a cultural program of some kind. These include potluck dinners, discussions and guest speakers. Topics of discussions have included "Righting Wrongs", (focusing on war and justice in different national contexts); the origins of the Jewish Sabbath and its meaning to Humanistic Jews; an audio-visual overview of secular Jewish history; Jewish humor; new member orientations and more.

Note: For information on other holiday celebrations, please see our main holidays page.
