Saturday morning
Cheeseboards & Torah Class
A short, lively class over cheese boards. A good way to arrive: you can sit at the back and listen.
Vibrant Minyan
The Shabbat morning service. Join in, or just sit and take it in.
Kiddush Lunch
Everyone eats together. If you only come for one part, come for this one.
Good to know
- Do I need to be religious, or a member?
- No. People come from every background, and many are just starting out. Just come.
- What about Friday nights?
- Twenties and thirties gather for a Final Friday Shabbat dinner with Young & Jewish each month: next on the last Friday of the month. Holiday dinners are on the calendar.
- Who will I meet?
- Rabbi Yosef and Clara Rice, and a community that’s growing every month. Text Rabbi Yosef before you come if you’d like someone to look out for you.
- Where is it?
- 2814 Poinsettia Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33407. Open in Maps.
