:: shabbat

"And on the seventh day you shall rest:” the Biblical commandment to rest on Shabbat. We understand this to mean rest from creative work. Shabbat at Chabad House is definitely NOT a dull, boring day to laze around.

Following Minchah [afternoon service] on Friday, Rabbi Posner enlightens the gathering with a Torah thought on the weekly Parsha. Kabbolat Shabbat - Service to welcome Shabbat is punctuated with singing and even a bit of around-the bimah dancing!

Kiddush and Shabbat dinner follow. Everybody is invited to gather around the "expandable" Shabbat table with the Posner family and enjoy home-made Shabbat delicacies, delightful Jewish tales and anecdotes and join in singing Chassidic tunes!

Like everything we do at Chabad House, no previous experience is necessary.
Below is the schedule for Shabbat. Candle lighting times are listed for your information; there is a place in the Chabad House for women to light their own Shabbat candles. Please email to let us know that you are coming and to confirm this week’s schedule.
