Shabbat Morning Service - Kiddush Lunch to Follow

Saturday, December 7, 2024 6 Kislev 5785

10:30 AM - 12:00 PMTemple B'nai Torah

Join us this Shabbat as we celebrate and honor Rabbi Molly and Rabbi Dusty, officially installing them as senior and associate rabbis of Temple B'nai Torah. We will celebrate at our Friday night service, Saturday morning service, and Saturday afternoon Havdalah Gathering.

Our Saturday morning service will be led largely by our guest rabbis and followed by a kiddush lunch.

What is a Rabbinic Installation, and Why Now?

Installation rituals often take place several months after a new rabbi begins their role in a congregation. This timing allows the rabbi and the community to connect and establish relationships, making the installation a more meaningful celebration.

This weekend, we are joined by visiting scholar and mentor, Rabbi Dvora Weisberg, the Rabbinical School Director of Hebrew Union College-JIR, who will lead events throughout the weekend. We also welcome guest rabbis Bess Wohlner (Congregation Bet Haverim), Julie Bressler (Temple Sinai Oakland), and Leah Citrin Nelson (Westchester Reform Temple). 


Installation Schedule:

  • Friday, 12/6 at 6:30pm:  Kabbalat Shabbat Service with our Clergy and Eran, and Installation ceremony led by visiting scholar Rabbi Dvora Weisberg. A celebratory dessert oneg will follow.
  • Saturday, 12/7 at 10:30am: Join us for our Shabbat Morning Service led largely by our guest rabbis and followed by a kiddush lunch
  • Saturday, 12/7 4:00pm - 6:00pm: We'll join together for a Havdalah ceremony with drinks, light bites, and a teaching from our guest rabbis Dvora Weisberg, Bess Wohlner, Julie Bressler, and Leah Citrin Nelson.
