Wake Up Shabbat

Please mark your calendar and plan on spending Shabbat morning with us on February 25, 2012 for our first Wake Up Shabbat of the year. This Wake Up Shabbat will feature author and illustrator, Katherine Janus Kahn, creator of the children’s book, Sammy Spider.
We will also offer adult programming and a main service, led by Rabbi Steven Kushner. During the Torah reading, Rabbi Rex Perlmeter will help us explore the deeper meanings of parashat Terumah utilizing the dramatic and engaging methodology he is learning in his training as a Storahtelling Maven. The goal of this technique is explained by Storahtelling founder Amichai Lau-Levie in this manner:

"Our main focus is the restructuring and transformation of Judaism's oldest form of sacred storytelling, the Torah Service, into a central and compelling educational event. Conducted both within and beyond the traditional religious settings, Storahtelling's adaptation of the Torah Service creates an exciting arena for multi-generational learning, to meet modern generations where they are, and to present a new approach to Jewish learning."

9 am: Breakfast
9:30 to 11 am: Young Children & Family Tefillah with Cantor Meri and program with Katherine Kahn
9:30 to 11 am: Shabbat Morning Tefillah and Storahtelling with Rabbi Rex Perlmeter.
11 am: Brunch
