Why is this morning different from all other mornings?

On most mornings, we do not drink booze at Ner Shalom, but this morning celebratory brunch cocktails are encouraged.

On most Shabbat mornings, we learn the Parashat HaShavua - the Torah portion of the week, but this Shabbat morning we are recalling the whole Torah.

On most mornings, we might eat treyf at home, but this morning, we celebrate with bagels - symbolizing the eternal cycle of Torah reading, and our strong Jewish diaspora.

On most Shabbat mornings, we pray in the sanctuary, but this morning we pray outside under our sukkah.
