Simchat Shabbat Special Needs Services 2016
Nine Years of Accessible Services!
Council For Jews With Special Needs (CJSN), a nonprofit agency devoted to providing programs, services, and resources to help those in the Jewish Community with disabilities, and their families, is pleased to announce the dates for the 2015-2016 Simchat Shabbat Season.
Saturday, May 28th, September 17th, and December 10th at Congregation Beth Israel
– click here for more 2015-2016 season dates & locations
All services begin at noon and last approximately 45 minutes. The general public is encouraged to join the services.
The first Simchat Shabbat service took place at Congregation Beth Israel (CBI) in 2007. The goal was to have a place where adults with special needs and their families could worship together. The service was created in partnership with CBI including specially designed prayer books that were funded through a generous community grant. With the success of the school year, summer services were added at Temple Emanuel of Tempe. In 2008, Simchat Shabbat won the esteemed Belle Latchman Community Service Award for Best Project Enhancing the Quality of Jewish Life.
“Nine years in, and it is still the most joyous service you will ever attend,” said Stacy Rosenthal, co-creator of Simchat Shabbat. “Everyone is welcome and no one is turned away. The only rule, it is a “no shush” service and a place where God hears all prayers.”
Simchat Shabbat reservations are not required, but appreciated. Please call the CJSN offices at (480) 629-5343 or send an e-mail to debby@cjsn.org, to let us know when you will be joining us, how many in your party, or for any questions.
