“Something remarkable happens on Halloween, something I want my kids to see: On Halloween, we open our homes to one another.” — Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Trick or Treat
When Halloween falls on Shabbat, rather than locking the doors and turning off the lights, it is possible to open our doors to each other and our neighbors and embrace (not celebrate!) this festive holiday.*
Friday, October 31
5:30 p.m.
Pizza Dinner
6:00 p.m.
Abridged Friday Night Service
(ie. a little singing, no drash)
6:45–8:00 p.m.

We need a few volunteers to make this happen. Email Rabbi Russell at rabbirussell@bethsholomsf.org if you would like to help!
*Please note: we are not “celebrating” Halloween at Beth Sholom. We are gathering on Friday night for Shabbat with a little added joy.
