LAWRENCE: "Raise the Ruach" at Adath Israel

    Adath Israel will raise our spirits (Ruach) high as we smile, sway and feel inspired to move with a lively concert on Saturday night, Feb. 21, starting at 7 p.m. at Adath Israel, 1958 Lawrenceville Road (Route 206), just south of Rider University. The Havdalah service is a beautiful experience celebrating the end of the Shabbat with candle, wine, spices, subdued lighting and song.
    Cantor Art Katlin said, “It is a good time to come in from the cold and feel the warmth as we share together a spiritual and soulful evening that includes lively contemporary Jewish songs of prayer, peace and healing in a relaxed friendly environment, enriched by our dynamic live band.” Refreshments will be available throughout the evening.
    To purchase tickets, contact the Adath Israel office at 609-896-4977. Tickets may also be purchased at the door for $10 for adults and $7 for children ages 4-12.
