Come usher in Shabbat with meditation followed by a wine tasting kiddish. 

WES member, Eli Shapiro will guide us through a Kabbalat service infused with meditation practices. Whether you are a longtime meditator or this will be your first time, join us as we mindfully let go of the week and welcome in Shabbat. 

After services, we will provide a light dinner, and WES member (and wine importer) Scott Pactor will lead a tasting around lesser known grapes. We'll eschew Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet for a selection that includes sparkling Concord, skin-contact Gruner Veltliner and Georgian (Republic of) Chkaveri. We'll engage in light consumption and spirited conversation about why these alternative varieties are so exciting.
