Contemplative Kabbalat Shabbat with Lior and Julie Batz
Friday, June 13, 2025 In person
Join Lior Tsarfaty and Julie Batz for a Contemplative Kabbalat Shabbat Service
We invite you into a sacred space to welcome Shabbat…an evening of reflection and connection where, together, we will weave a container of depth, intentionality, beauty, and mindfulness.
The focus of this gathering is on personal reflection and finding inner peace. While we understand that little ones bring their own unique energy and curiosity, our environment is crafted with adults in mind, providing a tranquil space for deeper spiritual experiences. We recognize that keeping a serene atmosphere can be challenging when children are present. To ensure everyone can enjoy this special time, we encourage adults to take advantage of our adult-only space. We cherish the joy children bring, and we invite you to join our many family-friendly programs, including our regular Kabbalat Shabbat and Shabbat morning services, holiday celebrations, and youth programs — and stay tuned for more info on our new family-focused services launching this fall.
