7:30 PM. Everyone is welcome to be a part of this new, exciting and musical Shabbat featuring the music of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach z"l. Come and hear Rabbi Rosalind, and David and Inara Morgenstern lead our musical congregation in this wonderful service.
At 8:30 PM, we will kickoff our Fall 2007 Shabbaton with a talk by Rabbi Kevin Hale titled: TELEGRAPH AVENUE TO TORAH SCRIBE.
Meet Rabbi Kevin Hale, a graduate of Yale and former Berkeley street artist, who is one of the handful of non-orthodox rabbis in the world who is also a traditionally-trained "sofer stam," or Jewish ritual scribe. In this presentation, Rabbi Hale will trace the spiritual and artistic journey which led him to take a special interest in the 613th biblical commandment, which calls upon every Jewish person to engage at least once in his/her lifetime in the writing of a torah scroll.
