Yom Shabbat

Yom Shabbat is a special opportunity to spend one Shabbat at the Temple exploring a specific Jewish theme. Yom Shabbat occasionally starts with Shabbat dinner preceding Friday night services, continuing with a Saturday afternoon program with speakers, a panel discussion, film, or some other form of presentation, and concluding with Havdalah.
