Don’t be surprised if you hear a little barking at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in Pepper Pike and Temple Emanu El in Orange this weekend. Both congregations are inviting the community to bring their furry family members for special Shabbat celebrations.
Temple Emanu El Cantor Diane Yomtov began hosting a Simchat Chayot (celebration of the animals), or more simply, pet Shabbat, with her former congregation in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
