A Taste of Shabbos – In conjunction with "The Shabbos Project" on Parshas Noach, October 24/25, YISE will have a special program, "A Taste of Shabbos" in Kemp Mill.

We are pleased to welcome Simcha Leiner for this Shabbos to lead a spirited Davening Friday night and at the 8:45 Minyan Shabbos morning. We hope our members will avail themselves of the opportunities this Shabbos will provide for Ruach, both in prayer and at other gatherings and reflection, through special Drashos and Shiurim, offered throughout the Shabbos. Esti Strauss has agreed to head the committee that will be making arrangements for this Shabbos. Thank G-d, we have many programs planned with many ways to help. If you are interested in being of assistance, please contact Esti at esvstrauss@gmail.com We plan to provide an inspiring Shabbos for all, with long reaching impact, and an opportunity to connect in a more meaningful way with others, both in our community and beyond. More information will be provided over the coming weeks.
