Shabbat, Yom Kippur & More

Dear {{first_name}},

For those who joined, it was great seeing so many of you - whether it was in person at the Keilah for teffilot, at our drive-thru Shofar service, participating in our children's programming, or on Monday for our Tashlich services around town - or if you participated in our Rosh Hashana celebrations on Zoom. For those who have yet to participate during this High Holiday season, please see the schedule below for Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah programming, both on Zoom and in person. Know that your Keilah is here for you and we look forward to continuing to connect with you throughout these High Holidays.

Shiva for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Friday, October 2 at 2:00 pm
City Springs Complex 
1 Galambos Way in Sandy Springs

The Atlanta Section of National Council of Jewish Women will be publicly observing the end of the traditional seven-day Jewish mourning period (shiva) for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, October 2, 2020 at 2 pm. The event will take place at the City Springs complex at 1 Galambos Way in Sandy Springs. NCJW invites the entire community to join this special observance. Face masks are required on City of Sandy Springs property. There will be a brief memorial service led by local Jewish leaders, who will lead attendees in song, prayer and the blowing of the shofar, the traditional call of a ram’s horn. The service will be followed by a ritual walk around the block, which traditionally marks the end of the shiva period.
