Shabbat baBayit invites us to step away from the building and return Shabbat to its most timeless setting — the dinner table. On Friday, March 20, 2026, instead of gathering at Temple Concord, we will meet in small groups in congregants’ homes to share Shabbat dinner, conversation, and a brief, home-friendly service together. On this Shabbat, there will be no service at 450 Kimber Road for Temple Concord. Instead, we’ll gather in intimate groups hosted by members of our community. Each home will have a volunteer service leader who will guide a short Shabbat ritual and discussion created by Rabbi & Cantor — simple, meaningful, and accessible to everyone.
