Rabbi's Reflections ~ Musical theater themes and Jewish liturgical themes intersect in surprising and delightful ways. Jessica and I explore that relationship this Friday evening when we present Broadway Shabbat. We'll sing familiar songs from musicals and invite you to sing along and/or contemplate the universal themes that invite us each Shabbat to delve more deeply into that which makes our lives most meaningful.
A refreshing change of pace on a warm July Shabbat.
L'shalom, Rabbi Susan
