 Nava Tehila

Musical Shabbat
Friday, May 24—6:30 pm.

Nava Tehila‐ "beautiful praise"‐ is an emerging prayer and study community in Jerusalem. Its community and prayers are egalitarian and inclusive. Nava Tehila welcomes traditional as well as "spiritual, but not religious" people who want to pray and sing . Nava Tehila’s prayer is experiential because it is constantly seeking ways of connection to the Living God in each and every moment. Nava Tehila has been a source of inspiration to Rabbi Newman Kamin and Cantor Simon in developing musical selections forour own very moving Shabbat services.Some of the members of Nava Tehila are going to be in the U.S. in May and weare very fortunate that they will visit Am Yisrael.
 
 
Fri. May 24, 6:30 p.m.

• Nava Tehila will lead services.
• Barbeque dinner follows.
• Weather permitting, services will be held outdoors.
• Bring your own chairs or blankets and dress appropriately.
 
 
Shabbat morning, May 25, 9:30 a.m.
• Nava Tehila will lead parts of the service.
• Beth Shalom Bnai Zaken will join us and will help lead parts of the service.
• BJBE will join us.

This promises to be a very special Shabbat and
we hope you will join us for all or part of the festivities

Family Retreat

 

Experience the Am Yisrael community in a different and inspiring way by attending our family Retreat.Led by Rabbi Newman Kamin with assistance from Mr. Charlie Sherman, this Shabbat weekend is guaranteed to not only enhance your appreciation of Shabbat, but to strengthen your ties to the AmYisrael community.

The retreat will be held at Camp Beber, nestled in the rolling hills of Mukwonago, Wisconsin, just about an hour from the North Shore. The private campsite is located on 380 acres with shoreline on beautiful Lake Beulah.  
 
Each family will have a private room and bathroom. Families are expected to arrive before Shabbat begins on Friday and to stay through Sunday lunch.  Pricing includes two nights stay, meals and programming.
