Mincha will be led by our Hebrew school youth. After Mincha, have something to nosh handy. We’ll say a blessing over the food and Shmooze and nosh.
When it is clearly dark outside, we will chant together the Debbie Friedman Havdallah [Here’s the link for this, if interested: https://www.bagels.tv/the-worlds-official-havdalah-debbie-friedman/].
