Atrium Shabbat is back, with a new tradition!
Once a Month, Members Only
It may be cold outside but indoors, the Atrium Shabbat service is warm, haimish and intimate, with an added learning component. We end with a fantastic fleishik kiddush and Cantor Simon’s cholent! Why in the world would you not join us?!
JUST ADDED: Every Members-Only Atrium Shabbat now features TORAH TALKING, an interactive discussion about the parsha. No experience or prior education required — we’ll fill you in on what’s going on and you’ll be amazed at how much you’re thinking, and talking, about!
Shabbat morning, December 6
10:00 AM Torah Service
(Those wishing to daven Shacharit and help make a minyan are invited to join Cantor Simon at 9:30 AM)
