Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz – Scholar in Residence

**A Weekend of Song, Community, and Good Food**
As we prepare for a weekend of inspiring music and meaningful prayer with
Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz, we’re also excited to share the delicious menus
planned for both Friday night Shabbat dinner and Saturday’s Kiddush lunch.

The services will be musical but we will not be using instruments. Through her
voice and kavanah, Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz will help us connect with the
traditional prayers.
