“Something Different” for Shabbat Mornings features new ways to explore Tefilah and Torah on Shabbat Mornings at BAI!
Eight unique Shabbat mornings throughout the year developed in partnership with our clergy and professional team, our Religious and Spiritual Life Committee, and over 40 BAI congregants!
Each of the eight “Something Different” Shabbat Mornings will include:
- Engaging mindfulness practices
- Expanded, spirited Shabbat morning tefilah, led by our music prayer leaders and members of the Interfaith music project
- A mid-morning ‘break’ with light fare and time to socialize
- Interactive study on different topics, alongside our traditional Torah reading.
- Creative Torah reading featuring a mix of traditional reading and alternative, “hands-on” Torah
- Opportunities for intergenerational prayer and learning with our Shorashim students and families.
