We invite you to end your week and welcome Shabbat with us!

February is Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month. Throughout the month keep an eye out for the many faces and stories of the disability community at WHC in the journal and on social media. As a sacred community, we take this month as a reminder to celebrate the diversity of abilities in our community and the fact that each one of us is created B’tzelem Elohim, in the image of the Divine.

We close out our month of celebrating all abilities with a JDAIM Shabbat celebration! Join us to celebrate a Shabbat all about belonging as we hear from members of our own WHC community about the intersection of Judaism and disability in their own lives. This service is designed to be accessible to all as we come together to honor the range and beauty of our holy community.

At 6:00 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.

Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, Jenga, and cornhole games, create at a coloring table, and do other arts & crafts activities.

6:30 pm – Our Shabbat service begins.

Watch the Livestream

After the service – Stay for dessert, or more food and drinks!

Special thanks to our musicians who add so much to the service. We wouldn’t have them without the support of the Irene & Abe Pollin Music Program Initiative.

This week’s featured menu items include:
