NHS Men's Club Presents:
The 8th Annual
SHABBAT ON THE RANGE
Friday, July 22, 2011
The 8th Annual "Shabbat on the Range" began on Friday evening at 6 p.m. NHS musicians Claire Lee on flute, Gayna Bassin on violin and Douglas Mossman, guitar, performed cowboy tunes in the lobby as people gathered for the evening prayers. Kabbalat Shabbat was held in the Sanctuary, with Abigail Lee Halpern leading the service. The musicians continued to play until "L'Cha Dodi", the greeting of the Sabbath "bride", afterwhich Shabbat candles were lit.
After the service, everyone moved into the Zorndorf Social Hall, where a fantastic buffet dinner of grilled chicken, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw and corn on the cob awaited. David Zucker led HaMotzi, and everyone chowed down to a western-style dinner. There were also melons and cookies for desert.
After the dinner, Hal Winkler led a delightful Jewish cowboy trivia game, and Claire Lee led some sing-alongs, followed by Birkat Hamazon, Grace after Meals. Everyone departed for home around 9 pm, thoroughly satisified.
