HAVDALAH
In our opinion, Havdalah is one of
the most “Haimish” observances of the week. It signifies the start of
a new week (the end of our Shabbat----on Saturday evening after sundown).
A few friends were sitting around
one evening (Selichot evening, as a matter of fact), discussing how much we
loved the Havdalah ritual. We found ourselves commenting that we knew
of no one place where one could go, should they crave this type of
spirituality. Thus, the birth of our “Traditional Monthly Havdalah
Service”.
We would like to extend this forum
to the entire community. We will be holding a Havdalah ceremony at the
United Jewish Center, Danbury, Connecticut, the second Saturday evening of
each month, at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome. This is a children
friendly, family friendly, friend friendly event.
We begin our evening with food
(what Jewish event doesn’t). It will be followed with song,
drink (wine/juice), spice box and the lighting of our special candle.
This is our way of sharing with the
community one of our very “special” traditions.
