Village Shalom is once again open to resident families and visitors. In-person weekly Shabbat services are hosted every Friday evening at 4:00 pm in the Appleman Synagogue. Village Shalom relies on volunteers 16 years of age and up to lead services for our residents and their guests and is looking to expand its pool of volunteers.
In the past, volunteers have consisted of tweens working on their bar or bat mitzvah services project who are paired with a parent or older sibling, high school students seeking volunteer hours, and Jewish community adults with a heart for service. Opportunities are available immediately.
Leading Shabbat at Village Shalom is a great way to support your Jewish community. The intergenerational connectivity between residents and the leaders of Shabbat services is an immeasurable gift to those who live at Village Shalom. Service schedules are flexible, allowing volunteers to sign up for a single service or a regularly occurring schedule that is convenient for you. Volunteers are asked to arrive by 3:45 pm and services are generally about 30 minutes in duration.
