During the Erev Shabbat service, our Zimriyah Jr. Choir will be singing.

Bring your own chanukiyah and three candles as we celebrate the second night of Chanukah together during our Erev Shabbat service. Our community will gather in the Sanctuary as we light our chanukiyot together and enjoy a festive Chanukah Shabbat service. We will also have the chance to meet our new Executive Director Jeremy Ragent and his family for their first Shabbat at Beth Am when our clergy will have the opportunity to offer a special blessing for Jeremy, his family and our community.

The celebration will continue after the service in the Social Hall, complete with latkes and sufganiyot! Come say shalom and baruch haba (welcome) to Jeremy and his family.

Chanukah Family Celebration
The whole congregation — and families in particular — are invited to come to the Social Hall at 5:30 PM prior to the Erev Shabbat service to spin the dreidel, eat some yummy snacks and explore some Chanukah-themed crafts.
