Erev Shabbat rites this weekend

SAINT AUGUSTINE –  The Visiting Rabbi Series for 2020 kicks off this coming weekend at First Congregation Sons of Israel with Rabbi Joel Fox leading the Erev Shabbat and Shabbat services.

This coming Shabbat is Shabbat Shira, because the Parsha of Beshalach is read, and it contains the song sung by Israel after the splitting of the Red Sea. Further, this  weekend is the Shabbat before the holiday of Tu B’Shevat also known as the New Year for Trees.

The Erev Shabbat service begins on Friday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m., and the Shabbat service begins on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 10 a.m.
