Shabbat at Utah Hillel and in Salt Lake City

• Tzedek Hillel Social Action progamming ideas.
• Hillel's Minyan Netivot. A Saturday morning davening and Torah discussion group, meeting monthly in members' houses beginning.

This joint Hillel/Kol Ami project is a learner's minyan: we intend to teach each other the skills necessary to lead prayer and Torah learning.

Friday Evening Services in Salt Lake City / Park City.

Utah Hillel joins with the JCC Singles group for Friday Shabbat dinners on the last Shabbat of each month at the JCC. Utah Hillel doesn't have regular Friday services (would you like to organize them?). But Hillel members are welcome in town at Kol Ami, Chavurah B'Yachad, Bais Menachem and Temple Har Shalom / Park City Jewish Center.

• Traditional Egalitarian: Friday evenings at sundown Kol Ami offers a traditional service. Congregants and Cantor Loeb alternate leading a short, participatory, davening service in the Pepper Chapel. The singing is spirited; there is no sermon (sometimes the Cantor or a congregant offers a 5 minute lesson). The crowd is small and informal, often with as many children as adults and as many singles as couples, and mostly University affiliates. For students and newcomers, Hillel can also arrange a Shabbat dinner invitation afterwards at a faculty home.

  During the summer, this service is replaced by a larger traditional service meeting alternate weeks in congregants' homes. Call Kol Ami for times, locations etc.
