Shabbat Kulanu Yachad — All of Us Together and the Rededication of the John Cotton Kiddush Room

Join us for a very special Shabbat Kulanu Yachad (All of Us Together) celebration and the rededication of the John Cotton Kiddush Room!

Who was John Cotton? Read about him here.

Come hear what our Chaverim School students are learning as they help lead the morning service. This joyful gathering brings Chaverim parents, students, and the broader HBT community together in prayer, song, and celebration.

🕍 Saturday, November 8
🕘 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM — Shabbat Service led by students & teachers
🍽️ Followed by a festive kiddush luncheon

immediately following services, join us downstairs in the Social Hall for a festive kiddush luncheon as we rededicate the John Cotton Kiddush Room and honor our vibrant community spirit.

This special Shabbat takes the place of Chaverim School on Sunday — all students are expected to attend with a parent.
Students will spend part of the morning in the main sanctuary and part of the morning with their teachers. (Younger students will spend a shorter time in the service, and older students will stay longer.)

We’ll all come together at the end of the service around 12:30 PM to share in the joy of community and a festive kiddush meal.

Help make this Shabbat celebration even more special by sponsoring or contributing toward the Kiddush luncheon.
Your donation supports the food, hospitality, and community connection that make Shabbat at HBT so meaningful.
