Shabbat HaGadol, often translated as "the Grand Shabbat" is the name of this notable Friday before Passover. However, this day is special for another reason - it coincides with the release of Taylor Swift's new album!

Together, we will sing through traditional Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv/Evening Prayers along with poetry and a (dvar) side of Swift! This is a sacred opportunity to weave together the themes of freedom and renewal within the context of Taylor Swift and her songwriting, fame, and position in larger culture. We look forward to collectively preparing and energizing ourselves for Passover 5784. Led by Terry Egdal, Hannah Podhorzer (virtually), and Music Director Rebekka Goldsmith.
