Neshama Soulful singing in the Sukkah!

5.30-7.30pm

Please join Rabbi Zahavit for a Neshama session – similar to those we do on Shabbat morning – but in the Sukkah. If you’ve not come before you’re also welcome. We’ll sing (mostly) wordless niggunim (soulful chants), enjoy a short, guided meditation, some brief words of Torah, and refreshments.

Please RSVP if you can attend and also join our What’s App group here. https://chat.whatsapp.com/BMtYEzlFWas5Gku1zXhlOc
