West End Synagogue has a reason to celebrate. The membership is growing. At the congregation’s Shabbat Service on Saturday, November 19, WES will honor new members and current members who have increased the synagogue’s family units to more than 400. Nashville’s population growth has fueled West End Synagogue’s growth, including several families with young children who have sought out the only Conservative Jewish congregation in Middle Tennessee.

The 9:30 a.m. service will be followed by a kiddish luncheon, which will kick off a month of Thanksgiving and Appreciation culminating on November 29, Giving Tuesday.

In addition to the New Member Shabbat, there are now several other special Shabbats. Couples are invited to celebrate their anniversaries at services on the first Friday of the month with a s special dessert and appetizer oneg.

On the third Friday of the month there will be a dessert oneg for young professionals. And birthdays will be celebrated on the last Saturday of each month with a special kiddush lunch.

Once a month, on Sunday morning, all are invited to enjoy a catered breakfast while listening to a guest speaker.
