Have you ever noticed how many followers and fans of the Grateful Dead also happen to be Jewish? Have you ever wondered why?
Join us to celebrate a Grateful Dead Shabbat on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 7 p.m., to get those answers and more. Hal Aqua (The Lost Tribe bandleader, B’nai Havurah music director) leads a Kabbalat Shabbat service with all Dead tunes for the blessings and prayers, and Doug Gertner (The Grateful Dad) offers his multimedia program Who Were the Grateful Dead, and Why were they always following Jews around?
We’ll connect the dots between Jews and Deadheads, with opportunities to reflect on your own Dead memories, sing along to favorite tunes, and welcome the Shabbos Bride (wearing tie dye of course).
