Blessing of the Animals: Service & Vegan BBQ at Emanuel Synagogue

Join us for the highly anticipated follow-up to last year's inaugural Blessing of the Animals in the newly minted David Neil Constable AM Memorial Garden. In a spectacular guest-star appearance, Rabbi Emeritus Jeffrey Kamins returns to host an afternoon celebrating the souls of our pets, the creatures of God, and the many ways they enrich our lives. This year, humans will enjoy a vegan BBQ, and our furry friends will have a smorgasbord of animal treats to choose from. A special afternoon for animal lovers of all ages, with more details and surprises to be announced closer to the day.
