Events:

Starting with our amazing Community Seder service each year, through Shavout/Pentacost, and the Fall Feasts, and including Purim, Hanukkah, conference and seminar events, many opportunities exist for creative and energetic folks to pitch-in, making these times a delight to the L-rd and to all who join us. If you can commit a specific block of time, a few times a year, to preparation, advertising, set up, take down, processing, food considerations, or advertising, join this Team.

Calling cooks, servers, and shelf restockers!
