We will start with introductions and an opening activity to get everyone into a Shabbat mindset. Then we will go into a short service, saying and singing prayers typically said on Shabbat (some prayers are recited in Hebrew, but we always aim to provide transliteration). Next we will have a blessing over grape juice and braided bread called challah before we enjoy a meal together.
