Shabbat Pot Luck Dinners
April 12, May 24, and June 28th at 6:00 PM
Enjoy a warm, communal Shabbat dinner. The Ritual Committee is organizing monthly vegetarian/dairy potluck dinners this winter, spring and early summer.
They have been very successful. It's a great opportunity to get to know your fellow congregants and eat some great food! Bring a vegetable, fish, dairy dish or a dessert. We gather at 6:00 pm in the Social Hall.
We'll start with a candle lighting for Shabbat and blessings over the wine and the meal. Dinner will follow, and we will have a time for the healing prayer and Kaddish as well. The potluck dinners will be in-person programs with limited services, and not available on Zoom.
Don't feel that you have to cook, you can pick up something on the way! But join us.
