Shabbat

Posted on by Laura

Our next Shabbat gatherings will be:

Friday, May 3, 7pm: Kabbalat Shabbat with special guest Gen Slosberg 

Friday May 17, 7pm: celebrate Shabbat and the contributions Sheli’ach Tzibbur Lissin has made to our community over the past 8 years she has served as a soloist and service leader, and the 12+ years prior she has been a member.

Special guests will include Rabbi Jane Litman and Rabbi Ted Riter, previous CJC rabbis who worked closely with Lissin as her mentors. Throughout her tenure, Lissin provided a sense of continuity and presence through a rapid succession of rabbis. A special presentation will be made by the CJC Board in appreciation for her many years of joyful service.

Shabbat services with Rabbi Moshe Heyn and/or Sheli’ach Tzibbur (Prayer Leader) Lissin Lev Chaya are usually held at 7:00pm on the first and third Friday evenings of every month. Most services are being held online and in-person.  On first and third Friday mornings, Rabbi Moshe’s Shabbat Message will provide details.

CJC’s Shabbat gatherings happen throughout the year all over the Coastside. If you would like to host a Shabbat, let the Rabbi know here. We can even post it on OneTable.org, a national non-profit that empowers folks (21-39ish) to find, share and enjoy Shabbat dinners together.

Do you need to say Kaddish? Join an Online Kaddish Minyan with My Jewish Learning, Sunday at 7am Pacific, Monday through Friday at 1pm Pacific. Each session is led by a rabbi who will offer some words of Torah followed by the recitation of the Mourner’s Kaddish in the presence of an online minyan. Register here.

Shul-hopping adventures – Occasionally, on a Friday evening when we are not conducting a service, we invite you to join us for a “shul-hopping adventure.” Now that Zoom and live-streaming permit us to attend services virtually anywhere in the world, we choose a service we would like to attend as a group and provide the link for those who would like to join us. It’s a nice way to experience different “faces of Shabbat” and styles of worship. We also get to know rabbis and congregants around the country and they get to know us. They often welcome us and are honored that we chose to spend Shabbat with them.
