Children’s Program

On the second Friday evening at 6 pm there is a Children’s Shabbat Dinner. Please join us with your child or grandchild. The meal is fully catered, and is a great time to take a break from cooking and meet other Jewish families.

For more information, please contact Anthony and Jessica Allen.
