An opportunity to understand the meaning and purpose of the prayers and the way in which the prayer experience, understood in new ways, can
impact how we think about ourselves and our relationships
A stronger connection to the music and singing of the prayer service
Shabbat-related, interactive community-building exercises which will connect you more deeply to your HNT friends and neighbors
A service that has been significantly re-designed, edited and compacted to allow for more learning, and more interaction, while still preserving the essence of tradition.

Of course, there is always a great Kiddush at the end!

We will have the following special age-appropriate services throughout the morning:
• Pre-Gan: All young children, ages 0-5 years old, please join in Gan Danny for spirited Shabbat singing and dancing. Parents or guardians must stay with their kids during this part of the program.
