The Spirit Continues — Week 2 of Kehillah on the Beach.

A Room Filled with Warmth, Joy, and Community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second Kehillah on the Beach Shabbat Experience at the beautiful Cuban Hebrew Congregation – Temple Beth Shmuel. The room was filled with ruach (spirit), ahavah (love), and the inclusive, welcoming, heart that has always defined our Temple Israel family. We are thrilled to have found a new home where we are embraced fully — where diversity is celebrated, and our energy is seen as a blessing to this historic synagogue in the heart of Miami Beach.

Rabbi/Cantor Rachelle Nelson once again opened her heart — creating a Shabbat service that is warm, informal, musical, welcoming, and deeply moving. From the keyboard at eye level, she met us where we are — spiritually and emotionally — sharing not only her beautiful voice, but her wisdom as an ordained Rabbi with a lifetime of teaching and soul.

And the Oneg Shabbat? Simply phenomenal.

Tables overflowing with love, laughter, and a true sense of community. This is more than a service — it’s a movement.

Something truly special is happening on Friday nights in Miami Beach. Help us grow. Share the joy. Bring a friend. Spread the word.

Let’s build something beautiful together — spiritual, inclusive, meaningful, and uniquely ours.
