Each and every part of Shabbat enables us to sense a different way of being. Our gestures, conversations, singing, tefillah, intellectual engagement, drinking and eating all play a part.
Join Kol Sasson as we set aside the remnants of our week and move through a Shabbat together- holistically and consciously. Rabbi Elie Holzer will guide us as we turn inward and discover how the experience of Shabbat itself affirms and enhances its sanctity and uniqueness.
