Friday Night Service
Come join us for a very special Kabbalat Shabbat!
Kol Hanehsamah and the Vashon Havurah invite you to a special co-hosted and co-let Kabbalat Shabbat evening.
Feel free to come to one or both parts!
6:30 p.m. - 7:25 p.m. Moving Into Shabbat: Join us in a gentle Jewish-themed and Hatha Yoga-influenced practice. No yoga experience is needed and all are welcome (chairs are available for those who don't want to go to the floor). We'll use teachings from our sages as we connect with our bodies and breath to release the "kinks" that we've gathered during the week as we prepare to enter Shabbat.
7:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. A song-filled Kabbalat Shabbat service followed by an appetizer and dessert potluck.
The Board is making arrangements for a spectacular High Holiday Season this fall.
