Join us this Friday evening for a heartfelt and joyous Kabbalat Shabbat as we gather to celebrate our beloved rabbinical intern, Merissa, at her final service with our community. Over these past months, Merissa has touched our hearts and souls with her compassion, insight, and unwavering spirit. Her presence has brought light to our Shabbatot, depth to our learning, and warmth to our gatherings. Now, as she prepares to embark on the next chapter of her rabbinic journey, we come together in gratitude—to honor all she has given us and to shower her with blessings and love. Let us lift our voices in song, prayer, and celebration as we send her off with full hearts and open arms.

When: May 30th at 6:30 Pm in the Shalom Room at Reformation (212 E. Capital Street NE)

 We’ll welcome Shabbat with song and prayer, and kick off the weekend in community.

After the service we will be holding our traditional potluck dinner in the Shalom Room. We supply the wine and drinks and some of the food, you bring a dairy or vegetarian dish.

 We need volunteers to set up and clean up both the service and the dinner. Please, if you are able to help before, during, and/or after the event, or if you have any questions, email ShabbatHospitalityCommittee@hillhavurah.org.

If you'd like to attend, please register here in advance. Thank you.
