Description: As the colorful leaves fall and the weather turns cooler, let’s come together as a community to celebrate the beauty of Shabbat’s end and the start of a new week. You’re invited to a Havdalah event that promises warmth, connection, and delicious hot chocolate at a local playground!
Havdalah means “separation” and marks the end of Shabbat. We’ll gather at 4:30, enjoy some hot chocolate and conversation while our kids get their energy out on the swings and slides. At 5:15 we will all learn about the meaning of the havdalah spices, wine, and braided candle, and that will lead us to conclude our evening with the havdalah ceremony as we witness the stars appearing in the night sky.
Bring your family, your smiles, and your warmth! We look forward to celebrating with you!
