We light candles, recite the blessing for kiddush, join in hamotzi over delicious challah, and relax from the week in the company of our friends. The dinner is $5 for adults, free for kids under 13. Please call (520) 327-4501 to RSVP by the Wednesday prior, or use the form above. After dinner at 6:15 pm, we head to the Schlanger Chapel for a fun, child-centered active Tot Kabbalat Shabbat service with songs, stories, and music. After the 25-minute service, we go to the playground for oneg and playtime. Families are invited to sponsor the oneg in honor of a child's birthday or other special occasion. |
