Followed by a lively and delicious Oneg | 8 PM

A dedicated group of former Temple Israel members has launched Kehillah on the Beach, a new Friday night Shabbat experience led by Rabbi/Cantor Rachelle Nelson.

The inaugural service took place on Friday night, July 18, with 61 people in attendance. Rabbi/Cantor Nelson, known for her warmth and musical spirit from her years at Temple Israel and Temple Beth Am, led the community in a moving and joyful celebration of Shabbat.
