Childcare Update for this Shabbat:
We will have supervised childcare for 2-5 year olds this Shabbat 10/30 in the PreSchool room provided by Miriam Priven. Due to staff un-availability we will not have supervised play for 1-5th graders upstairs or in the Berkeley School playground this Shabbat. Children in this age group may play in the Rimmonim-Edah Room with a parent checking in on them on a regular basis and ensuring that the room is left clean; children are not to play on the Berkeley School playground unless they are supervised the entire time by an adult.

| Shabbat Learning Opportunity | CNS "Davening Lab" led by Hannah Dressner Four 90 minute sessions, every other Shabbat Oct. 30, Nov. 13, 10:30 - 12:00 This "davening lab" is meant to hold a container for experimentation with the Shabbat morning davening, for the purpose of further vitalizing our personal experiences of prayer. We hope that skills and insights gained in this smaller context will, ultimately, enhance the larger Netivot shabbat morning service. To keep us in sync with the main service, the Slim Shalom siddur (and a transliterated siddur) will be used as a basis for this investigation, augmented by other sources. Modes and enhancements of prayer to be explored will include: becoming comfortable with traditional nusach and its riffs, the usefulness of chant, the place for silence, davening in translation, and creation of privacy within one's tallit, and, of course, some new melodies.
Each session will take the form of an abbreviated service, with study of at least one prayer or psalm within that context. Please come with a tallit (even if taken for the Netivot supply) and an open heart. Please leave all writing and recording instruments behind, as we are learning while doing, and Shabbat does not traditionally include these activities. And be prepared to re-integrate with the full community by staying for kiddush! If you especially enjoyed Hannah's service leadership style during Yamim Nora'im, you will really enjoy this new window to prayer. Please join her on Saturday Oct. 30 and Nov. 13 at 10:30 upstairs for an alternative service.
