REA Annual Meeting 2019

Welcoming Shabbat is a weekly opportunity to take a break from the pressures of the week and find rest and sanctity amongst family or friends around a festive table. It heralds a time of contemplation and sacredness as the 25 hour Jewish Sabbath commences with the onset of the evening hour. Kabbalat Shabbat is marked by song and story, blessings over bounty of body and spirit. We invite the REA community to join together as participants and witnesses to this moment in Jewish time. For as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taught us “The Sabbath Day is like a Palace in time with a kingdom for all”.
