Join us for Kabbalat Shabbat on June 17th
The next Kabbalat Shabbat will be held at the Mivasair home on Friday evening, June 17, 2011 at 6:30 PM.
We’ll gather for candles, wine, camaraderie, song and prayer, and get settled in. Then, we sit in a circle, some on the floor on cushions, some in chairs, and sing to bring us into Shabbat, often with very sweet guitar accompaniment. Sometimes between songs, Reb David shares a teaching or two from Torah.
Most stay for dinner*. Please RSVP to Reb David (rabbi@ahavat-olam.ca) by June 16th, and check in with him about what to bring – the Mivasairs prepare a vegetarian/fish main dish, and each guest contributes a side dish to round out the meal. All food brought to their house must be strictly kosher. Food guidelines are found here.
We’ll begin Kabbalat Shabbat at a bit after 6:30 pm. We’ll sit down for the dinner around 7:30 pm.
If you have mobility restrictions, let Reb David know in advance (rabbi@ahavat-olam.ca or 604-781-7839) , and he will set up a ramp to the back door.
May we all be blessed every week to bring into this world a day of rest, peace and encounter with the sacred.
For future Kabbalat Shabbat dates, view the Ahavat Olam calendar.
* Each guest is asked to drop $5 into the porch mailbox on the way in, to help recover some of the costs associated with hosting the dinner.
