Kabbalat Shabbat Service
Conducted by
Cantor Irwin Gelman
Friday, May 24, 2013
6:30 PM
Please join us when when Cantor Irwin Gelman conducts a Kabbalat Shabbat service on Friday, April 19, 2013 at 6:30 PM followed by a Dairy Potluck Shabbat Dinner.
We will welcome Shabbat with music as Cantor Gelman, with spirited musical accompaniment, leads us in lively, foot-tapping Shabbat tephillot. If you play an instrument (strings, winds, brass or percussion) and you would like to join in the music for the service, please contact Cantor Gelman at Cantor.Gelman@congregationbethabraham.net or Marty at mkerker@aol.com.
Everyone is encouraged to sing along and bring hand instruments such as tambourines, shakers, and drums as we share a joyful and uplifting service.
After the service please join us for a Potluck Dairy Shabbat Dinner. Please bring a dairy dish to share - no meat or shell fish. Kindly label your dish if it includes nuts. Some ideas are salads, casseroles, dips, desserts or beverages. Please let us know what you are bringing by sending an email to info@congregationbethabraham.net
We would greatly appreciate if you would plan on taking home any leftovers. We have no way to save food and don't want to see such delicious dishes go to waste!
If you would like a Yahrzeit to be acknowledged at the service please email Cantor.Gelman@congregationbethabraham.net
We hope you can join us as we celebrate Shabbat in a casual and relaxed family atmosphere in our historic synagogue. This service is open to the community so feel free to invite your friends!
