Members of the community, especially individuals with special needs, are invited to a casual Shabbat celebration on Friday, June 20, at 6 p.m. at Temple Shearith Israel.
This is an inclusive and brief service especially for families with young children or individuals with special needs that make it difficult to sit through a typical service.
Rabbi David Reiner and Cantor Deborah Katchko-Gray will use music and creative worship to share a spiritual experience that brings people together.
The service will last approximately 30 minutes followed by refreshments with appropriate activities meant to foster sharing and a sense of community.
Families can come to this service without worrying about the behavior of their child or young adult and still find a sense of spirituality, organizers said. This service can make everyone feel comfortable and welcome, while connecting with other families in similar circumstances.
To RSVP, contact Laura in the temple office at 203-438-6589 or office@tsiridgefield.org.
