The links below offer resources for you to celebrate Shabbat evening at home including the words for blessings at the table - candles, blessing for children, kiddush, challah and birkat hamazon, the blessing after the meal. There is also a link for how to sing the blessings and a spotify playlist of Shabbat songs to bring music to your Shabbat table. Make your own special Shabbat meal! You can also find the Temple Beth David livestream link and e-prayerbook link on the temple homepage - join us for services from home.
Every Sunday morning we need parent volunteers to help especially when children are outside. Due to COVID, students are outdoors as much as possible. We need adults to walk the perimeter around the temple to help with security, and to assist teachers with moving supplies. Get your steps in! Please volunteer for at least one session.
