helfand-johnston farewell kiddush & celebration - saturday, may 17th, 9 am
We are fortunate to have enjoyed three wonderful years with Rabbi David, Rebekah, and family, who have endeared themselves and played an integral role in the life of the Shearith community. We wish them well as Rabbi David assumes a Senior Rabbi position in Maryland this summer. Please join us in saying l'hitraot and honoring their contributions to CSI during shabbat morning services and a special, not-to-be-missed kiddush luncheon. We will also honor our graduating seniors!
Services will begin at 9 am, with the kiddush to follow shortly after noon. Please register and contribute to the kiddush via the button below.
shabbat in the park - friday, may 23rd, 5:45 pm
Join Shearith Israel as we head "off-campus" to a few local parks this summer and fall. We'll kick off Shabbat with a few songs on guitar and prayers over wine/juice and challah, followed by a fun vegetarian-friendly meal. These casual Friday evenings are a terrific way to socialize with Shearith Israel members of all ages, so bring the kids AND the grown-ups and tell any prospective members that they are welcome to join us, too — the more, the merrier!
The first gathering of the season will take place on Friday, May 23rd from 5:45 - 7:30 pm at Glenlake Park in Decatur (1121 Church St, Decatur, GA 30030).
shavuot night of learning - sunday, june 1st, 6 pm
Join us for a special Shavuot night of learning as we enjoy a dairy dinner, cheesecake and other traditional desserts, and study late into the night together as a community. Speakers include Marshall Duke and Paul Root Wolpe, with more to be announced shortly. The theme for this year's Tikkun Leyl Shavuot is "Visions of the Jewish Future".
