Holidays & Shabbat

Shir HaShirim

The Song of Songs Minyan comes together for a community Kabbalat Shabbat on the second Friday of every month for egalitarian Jewish spiritual practice. Uniting the musical liturgy of Sephardic, Mizrachi, and Ashkenazi traditions, the gathering focuses on the rich content of Jewish sacred music, poetry, and prayer from around the world. Services are led by Rabbi Michael Ziegler and Hazzan Richard Kaplan with musical accompaniment by John Erlich and Jano Bogg.

Fridays June 13, July 11, August 8, 7:30pm, FREE
