Open Door Shabbat

A No Experience Necessary Shabbat Experience from the Astoria Center of Israel

Shabbat morning is the best time for Jews to come together, and the WORST time to feel out of place in synagogue.

Join the Astoria Center of Israel (ACI) once a month for a no-experience-necessary Shabbat service, where we will explore the:

-Structure of a prayer experience
-Meaning behind key Jewish prayers
-How to sing when you don't know Hebrew

Don't know Hebrew? No problem!

Skeptical about religion? We'd love to have you!

Haven't gone to synagogue since your Bar Mitzvah? You're perfect!
