Prayer for our Country – Sen. Cory Booker | Yom Kippur 5785

Come together for our tech-free (off-mic) Kabbalat Shabbat Services with a focus on lifting our voices in song as a community. Don’t go to Shalhevet. Rather, enter through our alleyway and down the ramp into our event space. For those with accessibility needs, you can be dropped off and enter through the front door.  After Services, there will be two dinner options following services:  -Everyone is invited to stay for community dinner at the IKAR Event Space.  -TRIBE will gather for Shabbat dinner at the Office Patio for people in their 20s and 30s.  We never want cost to be a barrier in attendance. If you need assistance, please email [email protected].
