Florida-based Rabbi Janie Grackin was a guest at Sinai Synagogue where she spoke at the shul's monthly Chavurah supper. She introduced the concept of intergenerational services, talking about "lowering the barriers, without lowering the bar". The Shabbat service included her teaching songs and storytelling for the congregation - from toddlers to pensioners.
Following the service, Rabbi Grackin led the religion school teachers in a study session. Director of education Gwynneth Lewis said: "The whole of Shabbat was a great experience."
Rabbi Grackin thanked the community for the warm welcome she received. ‘I had the most enjoyable weekend with the congregants, families, and teen educators.’
