Rabbi Darah Lerner and members of Congregation Beth El invite you to Shabbat Across America-Canada beginning with a vegetarian potluck Shabbat dinner at 5:30 p.m. and a Shabbat service at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 5, at Congregation Beth El, 183 French St., Bangor.

According to information provided by the congregation, "tens of thousands of people at hundreds of locations across North America, as well as soldiers on active duty around the world, are expected to participate" on that day in this National Jewish Outreach Program.

The event, the release explained, "has been designed to introduce Jews with limited background in observance to the joy and beauty of the Jewish Sabbath" and, this year, the program has been extended to include military bases.

You are asked to register for this event and let your hosts know whether you will be able to bring a dish to share by calling 945-4578 or e-mailing bethel@me.acadia.net.
