Kabalat Shabbat
On Friday, November 23rd, join Oak Park Temple for a “nosh” at 6 PM in the Rotunda followed by a Kabbalat Shabbat Service at 6:30 PM and you’ll be home in time for the kids to go to bed at 7:30 PM. The Oak Park Temple joins together in the rotunda at 6 PM for social time prior to our 6:30 PM service. At 6:30 PM, we welcome Shabbat with a musical service featuring classically trained guitarist Aaron Burnstein. The time of the service allows those with small children to join us following an early dinner at home, and those who have more scheduling flexibility to have a leisurely dinner with family or friends following the service. Join Oak Park Temple in celebrating Shabbat with reflection and joyful communal singing!
