"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.
