Ask
returning attendees what they’re looking forward
to the most, and you’re sure to hear “Shabbat.”
Twenty-four hours of joy, holiness, rest, and worship.
You’ll be inspired… revived… relaxed…
and transformed.
Let
them build for Me a sanctuary that
I may dwell among them.
For
twenty-four hours, the Boston Hynes Convention Center’s
Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium will be trans-formed
into a holy space, a sanctuary. Imagine!… 5,000 Reform
Jews welcoming the Sabbath at Kabbalat
Shabbat services. What a reception for the Sabbath
bride!
Shabbat
continues with—what else?—Shabbat dinner. Light
the candles, share the challah, drink the wine with others
from your UAHC region during a relaxing Shabbat meal…
but don’t plan on sleeping yet!
Break
forth into song…
It’s
a Biennial tradition… a rousing late night sing-along
with the best song leaders in the Reform Movement. Whether
you can carry a tune or prefer to just clap your hands,
you’ll join in old favorites and learn new.
And
the study of Torah leads to them all…
A
bagel and a book… what better way to begin Shabbat
morning than in a small group, studying parashat hashavuah
with one of our Movement’s leading scholars and rabbis?
This is followed by morning t’filah, when
all 5,000 of us will gather to pray, chant Torah, and
hear the stirring words of Rabbi Eric Yoffie’s
presidential sermon.
Remember
the Sabbath… and keep it holy…
Shabbat
k’dushah—the holiness of Shabbat—continues
with Shabbat study luncheons
led by distinguished leading scholars from Boston-area
universities and HUC–JIR (note: you must preregister
for your choice of topic), Shabbat afternoon programs,
and Havdalah.
