Visiting a shul by the sea!
May 30, 2014
I'm off this weekend to Temple Beth-El of City Island, where I will be their scholar-in-residence as they celebrate their 80th anniversary with a Shabbaton of delicious practice, teaching, and togetherness! (I posted about this a while back.)
It's going to be an action-packed weekend. Tonight: kabbalat Shabbat services with "Your Band By the Sea." Tomorrow morning: services co-led by me, Reb David, and Reb Eva, followed by a public teaching at noon on the power of blessing. Tomorrow night: havdalah and a poetry reading in a private home. Sunday morning: a class on writing in spiritual life and then a poetry reading before I turn around and head home.
If you are in or around the New York city area, I'd love to see you at any of these events which are feasible for you! Logistical details again, for those who need them:
Friday and Saturday services / teaching at Temple Beth-El, 480 City Island Avenue
Sunday sessions at Samuel Pell House, 586 City Island Ave
( writing class: $20 for non-members, bring a notebook or laptop and an open heart)
Shabbat shalom to all!
