Atrium Shabbat This Week!
Join us for our once-a-month Members-Only Shabbat morning service!

An intimate and haimish quick davening
An added learning component
A hot fleishik kiddush, with Cantor Simon’s famous cholent
An uplifting spirit and atmosphere like none other
AND a meaningful prayer and chance to be together during these tense times

This is one of the unique benefits of being a member of The Song Shul.
