The Vilna Shul welcomes the whole family for a special Kabbalat Shabbat with storyteller Cindy Rivka Marshall.

We will enjoy a wonder-filled evening weaving stories together and then share a community meal in the historic social hall of the Shul.

This event is perfect for young families new to Boston as well as for anyone looking for a unique Shabbat experience for their children that combines spirituality and local Jewish history and heritage.

Cindy Rivka Marshall is an award-winning story performer, an educator and workshop facilitator, a storytelling coach and a consultant on the use of story in many settings.

Cindy has performed since 1989 throughout New England at festivals, conferences, schools, libraries, synagogues, senior residences, and for community groups.

In 2011 Cindy began work as a consultant for the Combined Jewish Philanthropies and in 2012 she began work for summer High School Programs at Brandeis University, offering workshops for staff and participants in using story sharing and storytelling.

Registration and a suggested donation of $5 per family is requested, but not required.

Everyone is welcome.
