Saturday, September 17 at 7.30pm, we will join the local synagogues together at the JCC for an evening of the arts. The Soiree includes Havdalah together, a visual feast of local Jewish artists, live acoustic music by Szelrozsa - old world klezmer, guest poets Richard Fein and Steven Sher, as well as culinary delights and drinks. The Soiree is a rare opportunity to gather across communities in an intimate setting. We would love our synagogue to be well represented Saturday evening for a Toast to the Soul at 7.30pm at the JCC.

This week Kedem winery agreed to contribute 20% of proceeds on an international variety of wine sales to the Jewish Community Center. Please complete THIS FORM and support our JCC as you prepare for your high holiday and Sukkot meals.  Forms are due by this weekend at Toast of the Soul!
