Our name, P’nai Yisrael, means, ‘faces,’ or ‘facets of Israel.‘

Torah has infinite facets for exploration, discovery, inspiration & fulfillment. Each individual in our community represents a unique aspect of the people Israel, 
those who ‘wrestle’ to know God. We come together in mutual appreciation, respect, compassion & gratitude to learn, worship, celebrate & grow. If you seek an intelligent, soulful & heart-centered approach to Jewish life & worship, we invite you to celebrate with us.

kabbalat shabbat by zoom

Friday, October 2, 6:30-7:30 PM

Folks gather by Zoom at 6:30 PM to connect and welcome the Shabbat by lighting their own candles together at 6:45 PM, blessing wine/grape juice, and saying and singing a few other basic Kabbalat Shabbat prayers, including a Healing Prayer and the Mourner’s Kaddish.

Kabbalat Shabbat is a shared service with many who participate leading individual prayers and it’s a great way to connect to begin Shabbat.
