Shabbat Across Frederick - February 19, 2010  

The Membership Committee is sponsoring Shabbat Across Frederick on Friday evening, February 19, 2010.  We do not have services scheduled that evening, and Shabbat Across Frederick is not intended to be a formal gathering.  We encourage all Jews in and around Frederick, members or not, to spend Shabbat with friends and/or family.  Invite friends over for a quick Shabbat dinner, an evening of camaraderie and companionship.  Bring Shabbat back into your home again, if only for one evening.  Or, if Shabbat is a regular occurrence for your family, include others in your celebration of this, the most important Jewish holiday.  You could invite other congregants, nonmembers, members of other congregations, or even non-Jews who may be interested in having a Shabbat meal.
