Join us for Parking Lot Shabbat Friday, April 16. Service begins at 6pm but please arrive by 5:45pm. Share a Shabbat together from the socially distanced safety of our cars. Join Rabbi Londy, Becky and Nathan Bliss as they lead services in the parking lot at University Academy, 6801 Holmes Road, Kansas City, Missouri. To insure our members safety, we are asking for rsvp’s if you plan to join us for services in the parking lot. Email the Temple office: info@TheNewReformTemple.com. We will also be streaming this services so our congregants may watch at home.

Many of the adults in our congregation never formally celebrated becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah and seek to do it as an adult. Rabbi Londy is exploring the creation of an Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah program.

The program will involve serious Jewish learning, community service, and synagogue attendance. Hebrew study will be available for those who seek it. Contact Rabbi Londy directly at rabbi@thenewreformtemple.com.
