Join us Friday Night, Sleep in Late(r) Saturday!

Join us at NSJC for the next in my series on on Intermarriage and Interfaith Relationships this Friday at 8pm during services.  We take a look at issues surrounding dating.

Come back on Saturday morning at 9:15am for the next in our Extra Soul Shabbat Saturday morning services.  We promise to end at (just about) the same time, but provide all the same rich, intellectual, emotional and spiritual uplift you'd normally get from Saturday mornings.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Hanukkah,

Rabbi Aaron Benson

Special Prayers for San Bernadino Victims this Shabbat

Please join us at NSJC for special prayers in memory of the innocent victims of the attack in San Bernadino during our Shabbat services this Saturday.

Let the light of the Hanukkah season shine even in the face of this dark moment in our country.  

Rabbi Benson
