Shabbat Shalom! Services schedule this weekend This evening (Friday, February 12) at 7:00pm Shabbat Service with Cantor Reinwald and Rabbi Donnell. ... This week's service will only be available via Facebook Live. Rabbi Donnell's sermon is titled "Good Things Come in Threes" Every Shabbat is sacred; each one is special. But this Shabbat is marked by not one, not two, but three distinctions that make this Shabbat unique. First, this week’s Torah portion brings us an important message about the importance of details. Second, this Shabbat coincides with the new month of Adar, the happiest Hebrew month. And third, this Shabbat is Shabbat Shekalim, with a special additional Torah reading to begin our preparations for the advent of Passover. This week’s sermon will bring these three distinctions together into one message with special meaning for today. Tomorrow, Saturday, February 13 9:15 am - Torah Study via Zoom For Havdalah this week, feel free to peruse the many Havdalah services archived on the TBS Facebook page or explore this resource and lead Havdalah on your own at home.
