An island in time, right on Essex Street
Six days a week, the city runs at full speed. On the seventh, we stop. Shabbat is a chance to put the phone down, step back from the week, and shift our focus to what we hold dear: family, community, and our connection to G‑d.
All are welcome, and no prior experience is necessary, at our soulful and meaningful prayer services. Prayers are conducted in English and Hebrew, sprinkled with song and a running commentary by Rabbi Yisrael. Prayers are followed by a hearty Kiddush lunch with fresh salads, chicken nuggets, hot cholent and kugel, good conversation, and great vibes.
See you on Shabbat!
