Shabbat Across America In Somerset

On Friday night, March 2, 2012, we will be a participating site for Shabbat Across America and Canada, a yearly Shabbat event that displays Jewish revitalization and Jewish unity.  Conceived and organized by the National Jewish Outreach Program (NJOP) in 1997, Shabbat Across America and Canada represents a united effort by the entire Jewish community to renew interest in the fourth of the Ten Commandments – observing a weekly day of rest (Shabbat in Hebrew).

Shabbat Across America and Canada is the first nationally orchestrated program to appeal to members of all major Jewish denominations.  It is also the first and only program aimed at uniting Jews across the United States and Canada through one single event. Shabbat Across America and Canada will take place in every city where there is a Jewish presence – from major Jewish geographical centers, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, to cities with smaller Jewish populations such as Alexandria, LA, Nashua, NH, and Portland, OR.

We would like to invite you all to attend and participate in this program.  The program will take place at The Martin and Edith Stein Assisted Living Residence on Friday evening March 2, 2012 at  6:30pm.  The program includes service and an oneg dessert.    If you would like to hear the Megillah read please feel free to join us on March 7 @7pm and March 8 @ 10:15am.  For more information contact us at 732-568-1155.
