Shabbat

Posted on by Laura

Friday, April 25 – Meditative Shabbat at the Ananda Valley Farm in HMB, 6:30pm

The Ananda Valley Farm sits on 67 acres in a beautiful, secluded valley in HMB, accessible via Frenchmans Creek Road. It’s owned and operated by a spiritual community that is happy to have us enjoy a meditative Shabbat experience in their yurt. This will be new for CJC.

The evening will not include a dinner. Since the 1-1/2 mile dirt road to the farm is not lit, we’ll begin at 6:30pm so we’ll be done before sunset (at 7:55pm). For more details, email Brianne.

May 30-31 The Shabbat of Unplugging Challenge (JFCS)

This is an initiative sponsored by Jewish Family and Children’s Services and will be widely promoted through the Northern Peninsula. Participating congregations, including CJC, will be hosting services and dinners to which newcomers will be invited. Stay tuned for where our service and dinner will be held. To learn more about the initiative, visit the JFCS site here.

Shabbat services with Rabbi Moshe are generally held monthly at 6pm, often followed by a potluck dinner. Most services are held in-person with online access available.  Additionally, some months will have an additional, family oriented service, also beginning at 6pm and followed by a potluck dinner. Watch for Rabbi Moshe’s Messages for details.

CJC’s Shabbat gatherings happen throughout the year all over the Coastside. If you would like to host a Shabbat, let Rabbi Moshe know. We can even post it on OneTable.org, a national non-profit that empowers folks (21-39ish) to find, share and enjoy Shabbat dinners together.

Do you need to say Kaddish? Join an Online Kaddish Minyan with My Jewish Learning, Sunday at 7am Pacific, Monday through Friday at 1pm Pacific. Each session is led by a rabbi who will offer some words of Torah followed by the recitation of the Mourner’s Kaddish in the presence of an online minyan. Register here.

Shul-hopping adventures – Occasionally, on a Friday evening when we are not conducting a service, we invite you to join us for a “shul-hopping adventure.” Now that Zoom and live-streaming permit us to attend services virtually anywhere in the world, we choose a service we would like to attend as a group and provide the link for those who would like to join us. It’s a nice way to experience different “faces of Shabbat” and styles of worship. We also get to know rabbis and congregants around the country and they get to know us. They often welcome us and are honored that we chose to spend Shabbat with them.
