>The second activity is new for our group.  Here is what is in our agenda:
>
>
>"5:45 - 7:00 p.m. A Celebration of Shabbat (the Sabbath)
>
>
>
>Suite 2456
>
>Join with other Federationists who happen to be 
>Jewish in welcoming Shabbat (the Sabbath) with 
>perhaps some wine, bread (challah), lighting the 
>Shabbat candles, and perhaps a short Friday 
>evening service before people go off to other events."
>
>
>This is a first time event for our group.  It 
>has been an idea brought up two years in a 
>row.  Rabbi Sarko has graciously offered to 
>lead a Friday night service including a short 
>Torah service.  I hope that we can have at 
>least 10 people (a minyon) for the service.
>
>
>Please note these activities on either the NFB24 
>app or on your personal agenda and plan to join 
>us for these exciting and interesting 
>programs!  I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there!
>As we are near the beginning of the Shabbat 
>(the Sabbath), I want to wish everyone the 
>traditional greeting, Shabbat Shalom!
