The Vilna Shul welcomes you to a unique and creative spring Shabbat celebration on Friday, May 10th.
As the flowers begin to bloom all over the city, join us in our historic sanctuary for an evening of song, prayer, dancing in the aisles, and inspired vegetarian kosher cuisine, all led by young leaders of the Boston Jewish community. Services will be facilitated by Maxwell Levis, a doctoral psychology student with roots in Vermont, Boston, and Israel together with Hellen Bennet, Laura Bellows, Josh Krug and friends.
The event will start at 7:00pm with food to follow and festivities continuing until late in the evening. Our Shabbat feast will be graciously catered by Earth Sky Time Community Organic Farm of Manchester, Vermont.
The Vilna Shul's innovative Shabbat services are made possible by the generous support of our community donors. To make a donation, please click here.
