Family Havdalah
Saturday, November 15, 5:00pm
In-Person Only
At the end of Shabbat, when three stars appear, we say goodbye to Shabbat. Together, we’ll take a cup of wine, a box of spices, and a braided Havdalah candle, and we’ll sing the blessings that talk about distinctions between the holy and the everyday, between light and dark, and between the seventh day of rest and the six days of work.
This brief but meaningful ritual is a perfect way to close out Shabbat and step into the new week connected, renewed, and inspired.

Helping Our Homeless
Sunday, November 23, 5:00pm
In-Person Only
Maureen’s Haven was named after Sister Maureen Michael. She was a Dominican nurse who set up an outreach program to help those in need decades ago. We have been working with them to help provide homeless men and women with a safe place to stay during the winter months. Overnight housing is provided by the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center, and we volunteer to provide nutritious meals, set up the facility, and serve the guests who come.
In the Babylonian Talmud, we are taught that “The Highest Wisdom is Kindness.” Let us be kind to our homeless here on the East End.
