Members of Melrose’s Jewish community will gather on Friday, March 5, 6 p.m., at Temple Beth Shalom, 21 East Foster St., in an unparalleled display of Jewish revitalization and Jewish unity. Conceived and organized by the National Jewish Outreach Program (NJOP), “Shabbat Across America/Canada” represents a united effort by the entire Jewish community to renew interest in the fourth of the Ten Commandments — observing a weekly day of rest (Shabbat in Hebrew).
Temple Beth Shalom is proud to have participated in Shabbat Across America since its inception and will be one of approximately 700 synagogues across the continent that will simultaneously open its doors to practicing and non-practicing Jews alike, so they may join together to experience and rejoice in a traditional Shabbat observance, much like the one that should be enjoyed at home.
Led by Temple members, attendees will experience an interactive Friday night beginner’s observance and a potluck Shabbat dinner with all the rituals explained. The event will take place from 6-9 p.m. All attendees should bring a dairy dish (entrée, side dish, salad or dessert). Do not bring any food containing meat or ingredients made with meat. Wine, grape juice and other soft drink beverages will be provided by the Temple.
