[Jewish] Tonight: trip to join Amherst Synagogue for Shabbat

[Rabbi Rachel D'vash Schoenfeld]

Come with us to join the *Synagogue in Amherst* (the JCA) for a soulful 
shabbat service and dinner! This service will be led by Rabbi Jacob Fine 
who runs a Jewish Farm School.
We'll provide transportation, but let us know if you have a car & are 
willing to drive.

Meet at *6pm in the Merrill Living room*. See you soon!

Good Shabbas!

*6:15 PM service* /Farbrengen Friday:/ The tradition of a farbrengen, a 
joyous gathering for melody and learning in honor of holy Jewish time, 
comes out of Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidism. The JCA's farbrengen begins with 
a Kabbalat Shabbat service in which we emphasize the singing of, and 
absorption in, Jewish liturgical music over and above excessive words of 
orientation and explanation--something that can captivate the spirit 
even if you don't happen to be an expert in this music.

Following the service, we have a potluck supper, and as we sit around 
sharing our Shabbat meal, we sing /zemirot/ and /niggunim/, (songs and 
wordless melodies) and invite people to offer words of Torah and wisdom, 
and maybe even explore other ways to experience our creativity in 
celebration of Shabbat.

The address of JCA is (if you want to meet us there): 742 Main St, 
Amherst, MA.
