Shabbat Shira, or "Shabbat of Song," falls this year on February 7-8. During this special Shabbat, we chant Shirat HaYam ("The Song of the Sea"), the triumphant song the Israelites sang after their crossing of the Red Sea, marking our people's liberation from Egyptian slavery.

On Friday evening, we will gather for a potluck dinner from 6-7pm, and then Molly Bajgot will lead us in an especially musical Friday evening service beginning at 7pm. After services, we will have an oneg with time for small snacks and schmoozing.
