END-OF-MONTH SHABBAT SERVICE — EREV SHABBAT

FRIDAY JUNE 27TH
7:30 PM AT THE OLD MEETING HOUSE, COLEGATE, NORWICH

The Erev Shabbat service to be held on Friday, June 27th is to be taken by Rabbi Rachel Benjamin.

Rachel Benjamin writes: We’ll be reading from Service Number Three this month, beginning on page 79 in Siddur Lev Chadash. For your information, the Torah portion that week is Korach, Numbers 16:1-18:32, and the traditional Haftarah portion is I Samuel 11:14-12:22. The LJ lectionary provides I Samuel 11:14-12:11, I Samuel 12:12-22 and Ezekiel 44:15-31 as the three possible Haftarah readings. The summer month of Tammuz starts on the following Friday.

After the service there will be a kiddush, with coffee, tea and cakes to follow.
