Celebrate Shabbat in our courtyard with your favorite four-legged friend. And this time around, also help the greater animal community by donating items for the Arizona Humane Society!
Saturday, October 11
10:30 am in the Courtyard
Pets of all kinds are welcome to join Rabbi Linder for a brief and memorable Shabbat service. A special Shabbat nosh with people food and pet treats will follow.
We also encourage everyone to assist the Arizona Humane Society by bringing at least one item on the list below to donate.
We ask that for the health and safety of everyone involved in Pet Shabbat, all pet vaccinations should be current per Arizona State regulations. Please keep dogs on a secure collar and leash and cats should be kept in carriers.
Clinic and animal-care items such as:
- Bleach
- Laundry detergent
- Fabric-softener sheets for the dryer
- SoftScrub™ brand cleanser
- Plain white paper towels
- Floor squeegees
Office and shelter supplies such as:
- New or gently used 3-ring binders
- New legal-size notepads
- Dry erase markers
- Manila file folders (8 ½ by 11)
- Heavy duty, clear-plastic sheet protectors (used to protect hospital patient charts on kennel doors)
- Playtex gloves (medium and large sizes)
- Batteries (AAA, AA, C and 9-volt)
- Digital cameras and small, spiral-bound notebooks (for EAMTs to document scenes of animal abuse or neglect)
- Inexpensive plastic buckets (for EAMTs to provide to dog owners who cannot afford water bowls)
Other items we always need:

- Hard plastic and washable fabric cat toys
