Lakefront Shabbat is the way JRC celebrates summer! Join us each Friday night for a musical, communal Shabbat in nature. Bring your friends and family, grab a blanket and your favorite picnic food, and enjoy Lakefront Shabbat. Come at 6 and bring your picnic dinner followed by our service at 7. Surrounded by nature and the beauty of Lake Michigan, this spiritually uplifting (and dog-friendly) service feels a bit like summer camp and a bit like Ravinia and entirely like JRC. Curious about JRC and this wonderful community? You are welcome! No need to register, just show up and bring your authentic self. If you have any questions, email info@jrctogether.org. Visit JRC Facebook Page for those preferring to join virtually.
