Shabbat
with Shalhevet is a whirlwind of activities. Every Friday night
we offer Kabbalat Shabbat and Maariv services for
crowds of varying sizes. It's an amazing time when we can all
get together and really welcome in the Sabbath. After that many
Shalhevet members will head to the Kosher eatery for a
traditional Shabbat meal where you can always meet
someone new or schmooze with your old friends. After dinner our
Friday nights are filled with a plethora of activities.
Whether you like singing, schmoozing, relaxing, noshing, or
learning, we've probably got something for you. On top of our
normal programming we frequently have special programs where
speakers orate, A Cappella groups sing, hypnotists entrance, and
so much more.
Our Saturdays
are a bit more relaxed but none the less exciting. You can join
the community for davening Saturday morning with either
our ashkenaz or sephard
minanim, followed by
a beautiful kiddush sponsored by Shalhevet. Short
shiurs are given before Mincha almost every
Shabbat for those who are interested in learning. After
Mincha a third meal (seudah shlishit) is
sponsored by Shalhevet and gives everyone the opportunity
to stay downstairs and socialize, or to go upstairs and sing a
few songs to bring Shabbat to a close. Finally you can
partake in a Havdallah service that has been inspiring
people to come to NYU for years. It's a beautiful concluding
service led by our very own Rabbi Sarna. Then you can spend the
next six days getting ready for yet another amazing Shabbat
experience. |

Notes on the downtown extension to the Eruv:
1. On Sixth Avenue, only the east side of the street, between
the lamposts and the buildings, is within the eruv since the
eruv zigzags down 6th avenue.
2. At no point is the FDR included in the eruv.
3. One cannot carry into or out of Sty-town using the
north-eastern or eastern entryways.
4. One can only access Tompkins Square Park from the north or
west. The eruv zigzags up Avenue A until the western gate
(intersection of St. Marks and Avenue A), at which point the
eruv consists of the fence of the park. Coming from the South,
the earliest one could cross Avenue A to access the park is St.
Marks. |
