“Shir Hadash: A New Song” Shabbat Service & Dinner
Friday, August 23, service 5:45pm; dinner 7:00pm

Join us for an uplifting service as we mix the traditional liturgy with new melodies from the modern Jewish world. While Rabbi Robert Eisen will help us explore the meaning of the words of our prayers, Cantorial Soloist Nichole Chorny will introduce some new melodies using niggunim (wordless melodies) and participatory singing. Together we will find our service enhanced with new music and joy, followed by a special Shabbat dinner.
CAI members $10; guests $15. RSVP needed for dinner only.

Dinner and Movie Night @ Marcellino Ristorante
Aug 23 @ 6:30 pm

Marcellino Ristorante will host a special “Dinner and Movie Night” in the restaurant’s private dining room, which will seat up to 12 guests on this special evening. Guests can order from the “Summer Supper Special” menu and watch Roman Holiday on Friday, July 19 or Big Night on Friday, August 23. Guests will need to arrive by 6:30 p.m. in order to place their dinner orders before the movie starts at 7 p.m. There is no additional charge to watch the movie, but because seating is limited, reservations are required.

“Come by yourself or bring a group of friends…we’ll take reservations until all seats are full,” Sima said, adding that both movie plots relate to Italy. “Roman Holiday is a wonderful classic romance drama starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, while Big Night, starring Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci, is a comedy-drama that came out in 1996 about immigrant brothers from Italy who open their dream restaurant in New Jersey.”

Marcellino Ristorante is located at 7114 E. Stetson Dr. in Scottsdale. The fine dining restaurant is open during the summer for dinner only from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Lite Bites are also available at the bar from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Lunch will resume on October 1.
