Shabbat Service-Sh'mini
Saturday, April 26, 10:30AM
In-person & on Zoom

Join with KBS members, friends and guests for our April Shabbat service at New Thought Center Hawai`i, 81-6587 Mamalahoa Hwy in Kealakekua.

The service will be led by Aviva Plaut,
with Rabbi Shari Joy Berman reading from this week's parashah: Sh'mini - שְּׁמִינִי    Vayikra/Leviticus 9:1 - 11:47 - which includes the sudden and dramatic deaths of Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu for using "strange fire" in the Tabernacle. The parashah also introduces the rules of kashruth, listing the animals that may or may not be eaten (eagles are not kosher and neither are geckos, but grasshoppers are OK!).

Aviva will speak about her recent stay in Israel with Yehudah, reflecting on the current events and the atmosphere in the land where she grew up and that she knows so well.


Afterward, stay for a Kiddush & Kibbitz potluck. If you can, please bring a dish to share (but no meat or shellfish). If you are unable to attend in person, the service will also be live-streamed via Zoom and on the KBS Facebook page. https://konabethshalom.org/contact-us-new/
