NEW INITIATIVE…
ADATH ISRAEL EXPERIENTIAL SHABBAT SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 2012 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The purpose of our Religious School training here at Adath Israel is to encourage active participation in Jewish life. As a new initiative to encourage both learning and participation, we are offering an Experiential Shabbat for students and their families. In class, students will be preparing to lead parts of the service either individually, in groups, and/or with family members. It is our hope that this experiential Shabbat will become a regular component of the school calendar.
We hope and encourage you to plan to be with us on Saturday morning,
January 28, 2012 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
