Temple Sinai is kicking off the Hebrew month of Elul, a time each year of Cheshbon HaNefesh (introspection) and teshuvah (return to our best selves) before the High Holy Days, with a special Shabbat service. This is the Sinai Summer of Love, and Elul is a month that has love running through it—the Hebrew name of the Month (אלול) has even been read as an acrostic for a famous verse from Song of Songs: “Ani l’dodi, v’dodi li,” “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.” Our Elul Shabbatot will be focused on the meaning of love in our lives—first thinking about love in a broad sense (love of the world, or of the stranger), then of love in a communal sense, and finally about self-love.
We ask that you register in advance to attend in person. The service will also be accessible via Zoom.
Note: Due to the weather forecast, this service will no longer take place outdoors. No food will be served.
