Service 7:30 pm


  • Bring a blanket, lawn chairs, and your favorite picnic dinner. We'll dine al fresco on our beautiful 10 acres of lawns and gardens. If it rains, we'll picnic indoors.
  • At 6:30 pm, we'll light candles, and say the blessings over wine and challah. Then we'll eat, mingle, and eat some more.
  • At 7:30 pm, we'll have a brief but lively song-filled service, and then a tasty Oneg Shabbat (refreshments).
