Save the date!

Hey everyone. First off, a hearty todah rabbah, thanks, to everyone who attended our last gathering by the lake and brought items for the foodshelf. The folks at the Joyce Uptown Foodshelf were very grateful and were excited to hear about our group.



Mark your calendars for our next Shabbat gathering, happening on Friday, August 20. Unless the weather does not cooperate, we're going to do this one potluck picnic-style by the lake again. More details to come (watch your inboxes).



Also, you're invited to join us for a free screening of Ghosts of Rwanda at the Guthrie 7pm, Tuesday, August 24. (Thanks Katy!)
