The Jewish Chaplaincy program, under the auspices of Jewish Family Services (JFS), will hold its pre-Hanukkah Service of Spiritual Renewal on Sunday, Dec. 22, at 3 p.m.
The event will be held 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 Talia Kaplan of Congregation Beth Shalom will lead the service. It will include traditional and contemporary prayers, songs and readings. The service includes moments for personal reflection.
“I love working with Rabbi Rudnick and our guest rabbis to present Services of Spiritual Renewal throughout the year," Zucker said. “Hanukkah is especially dear to me because I am drawn to the conversation between dark and light. As the year grows dark and cold, we are called to shine more brightly. Our pre-Hanukkah service includes prayers and songs that explore this interplay of dark and light. While most of our songs aren’t traditional Hanukkah songs this year, they all touch on the themes of the holiday.”
RSVPs are required by emailing or calling (913) 327-8250. This service will be recorded and made available after the event at jfskc.org/jewish-resources.
