Join Us for Shabbat!
Erev Shabbat with Rabbi Darby & Interim Cantorial Soloist Molly Bajgot
Friday, January 9, 2026 at 7:30 pm
(In-person and Online)
We invite you to join us this Friday night for a warm, welcoming, sweet, and soulful Shabbat service—an important opportunity for us to slow down, breathe more deeply, and gather in community. As we enter Parshat Shemot, we begin the journey of the book of Exodus, listening for the quiet call to courage, compassion, and possibility that emerges even in uncertain and challenging times.
Through prayer, song, and reflection, we’ll create sacred space to welcome Shabbat together. You may also be treated to a special sneak preview of a beautiful tune that Molly will be singing at the upcoming January 24th Wellspring Havdallah Concert. Come as you are, and let Shabbat carry us into rest and renewal. We look forward to welcoming in Shabbat with all of Kerem Shalom. Please join us.
