Friday, September 15th: Kabbalat Shababa Experience FNL Shabbat Dinner and Kabbalat Shababa Experience
With a dinner at 6PM followed by Kabbalat Shababa Experience at 7:30PM, this service is designed to engage all generations in a mindful and joyful service. It includes fewer prayers which allows an opportunity to go deeper as we bring intentionality (“kavanah”) to the forefront. Music, dance and prayer are weaved together with the Torah portion. We welcome participants of all ages from our Elementary School students to our Octogenarians. This will be a memorable evening for the whole family.
Saturday, September 16th: Shababa Family Musical Experience
The Shababa Family Musical Experience will start at 10:30AM in the sanctuary. This musical experience goes beyond “Tot Shabbat,” and is an intergenerational celebration rather than entertainment for just children. Families with young children will pray, sing, dance, jump, and celebrate together as a community. We highly encourage and welcome grandparents and parents to participate in this musical experience along with our youngest children.
Sunday, September 17th: The Art of Engaging Families
This workshop, starting at 10AM, is for educators, clergy, lay leaders and administrative staff. This will provide an introduction and immersion into the Shababa Approach. The goal of this workshop is to learn how to welcome the unexpected, be present, trust that something magical will happen and connect imagination and prayer. This workshop will explore the core methodologies and best practices of the Shababa Approach for leading intergenerational experiences. Please join us as we learn and grow together. We hope that you will join us for the events that will help your family connect to Judaism.
Our Shababa experiences are open to the entire community and ALL are welcome.
