SUMMARY:COALITION HAVDALAH BY THE LAKE
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOur generous hosts Ted and Hannah Shear will be holding a l
 ake observance for our late afternoon Havdalah ritual.* This special\nserv
 ice that ends Shabbat is full of mystical meaning and beautiful music. Tog
 ether we will end\nShabbat outside by the water\, share poetry\, readings 
 and song to help us enter the new week\, and look\nahead to the continued 
 warmth of summer. No need to be fancy - come wearing your casual best! We\
 nwill have some sweet desserts and wine to share.\n\nJoin us!\n\n\n\n\nHav
 dalah is a Hebrew word that means “separation” and is the ritual that 
 ends Shabbat\, separating it from the start of the new week. The service c
 an take place in the home\, in synagogue or in a group.&nbsp\;A beautiful 
 ritual\, it’s a brief ceremony that uses four elements to mark the momen
 t we sadly say goodbye to the beauty of Shabbat\, and pledge to carry its 
 gifts into the week to come.\n\nWe drink from a cup of wine – which symb
 olizes the joy we experienced on Shabbat. We pass a spice box (full of cin
 namon or another sweet smelling spice) – which symbolizes the lingering 
 scent of the sweetness of Shabbat. We light a multi-wicked candle – whic
 h symbolizes how our busy separate selves come together on Shabbat.&nbsp\;
  The light\, the wine\, and spices all come together to help us carry Shab
 bat with us through the week until the next Shabbat.&nbsp\; We extinguish 
 the candle into the wine to conclude the ceremony\, as a final moment of 
 “goodbye” to Shabbat.\n\n&nbsp\;With the singing of Shavua Tov and Eli
 yahu haNavi we wish each other a “good week” to come and long for a da
 y when Shabbat won’t need to end at all!\n\n[gravityform id="3" title="t
