Erev Shabbat Services: Shabbat Across America & Canada Start: 7:00 pm Light candles: 7:03pm On Friday night, March 20, 2009, hundreds of synagogues across the continent will take part in a historic national Jewish event to celebrate that which unites all Jews – Shabbat! Join us, at B’nai Emunah, in creating an evening when tens of thousands of Jews across North America will come together to eat, drink, relax, dance, enjoy, and celebrate. Shabbat HaChodesh Start: 7:03 pm End: 8:01 pm The last of the Four Parshiyot is Ha-Chodesh, Exodus 12:1-20. With one simple line, it establishes the Hebrew calendar: "This month shall be for you the beginning of the months, it shall be for you the first of the months of the year." (Ex. 12:2). This portion is read on Rosh Chodesh Nissan or on the last Shabbat before Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Now, you may be wondering: why are we reading about the first month of the year in the spring? Isn't Jewish New Year in the fall?
