Please join CDT's guest, Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, for a Shabbat morning service celebrating both Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as well as Dorshei's 30 years.

Fortuitously, Shabbat Shira, when we sing the Song of the Sea celebrating the crossing of the sea leaving Egypt, occurs this year on MLK weekend. We will explore the journey towards freedom on individual and communal levels, how we move from being a white supremacist society towards being an antiracist one. 
Virtual kiddush to follow.
