As part of the Funeral Practices Committee's Chevra Kadisha Shabbaton

All sessions will be available in person and via Zoom.

Register and sign up for babysitting below

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ZOOM:  To attend sessions in the Sanctuary, you can remain on the same Zoom link used for Shabbat. To attend sessions in the Chapel, you will need to use a different Zoom link. This link will open before sundown on Friday for those who do not log in to Zoom during Shabbat. (This will require you to use 2 devices if you also plan to attend Shabbat services via Zoom.)
