BE-THS is hosting Nariya Cleveland’s first Kabbalat Shabbat on May 3. They will have a musical Kabbalat Shabbat service at 6:00 PM, followed by a vegetarian-friendly pescatarian dinner at about 7:15 PM. Nariya says, “The cost per person for the dinner is $12-$14 so we are asking for a sliding scale contribution between $0-$18 for adults and $0-$10 for children. Please contribute what feels right, and if that is $0 that is good too!” If you wish to stay for dinner, you must register by 5:00 PM on Monday, April 29, THROUGH NARIYA’S WEB SITE: https://events.humanitix.com/nariya-cleveland-shabbat-dinner-mpwyuuv2
