The Jewish Chaplaincy program, part of Jewish Family Services, is offering a pre-Hanukkah Service of Spiritual Renewal.
Hanukkah begins at sundown on Thursday evening, Dec. 7. The service will be held Sunday, Nov. 19, at 3 p.m. in the social hall of Village Shalom (5500 W. 123rd St., Overland Park, KS 66209).
Jewish Community Chaplain Rabbi Jonathan Rudnick; Lezlie Zucker, music coordinator for Congregation Beth Torah; and Rabbi Caitlin Brazner, assistant rabbi at The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah, will lead the service. The service will include traditional and contemporary prayers, songs and readings, moments for personal reflection and closure of the current year, and words of hope for the year ahead.
“I invite all to join us to make your own meaning as part of this experience of Jewish spiritual community,” Rabbi Rudnick said. “Personally, I find this service powerfully connecting, especially in this season of increasing darkness.”
This service will be recorded and made available after the event at jfskc.org/jewish-resources.
