JanJanuary 17 , 2026Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Shabbat
Shabbat, Jan 17th 10:00a to 12:00p
We will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “Got Shabbat”-style, with a morning filled with activities for all ages! All are invited to join Rabbi Toba in the CDT Sanctuary or on Zoom for morning songs and blessings, beginning at 10am. Then, in addition to services and text study in the sanctuary (and on Zoom), you can choose from these alternative (in person) activities: *A special celebration with Morah Devora Rohr for kids aged 0-7 and their grown-ups *Family friendly yoga with Esther Kohn, learning about key events and values in Dr. King’s life and practicing related poses *And more! Stay tuned for additional workshops. We’ll gather back together for Torah reading and closing blessings, and will remember CDT member Marty Bresnick on the occasion of his 25th yahrzeit. Kiddush lunch follows services. After Kiddush, at 12:45pm, all are invited to a conversation with CDT member Marjorie Salvadon about the novel Désirée Congo (which Marjorie has translated) and the Haitian Revolution -
