Uptown Havurah Turns One! Come celebrate at tomorrow night's kabbalat Shabbat and potluck dinner

Hey folks. It's hard to believe a full year has already sped by since we started coming together as a group. It's been fun watching us grow, meeting new friends, networking, learning new tunes and traditions, trying out new recipes, and planning for an exciting future.

Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. We are tremendously blessed to have such a strong group of awesome people, each of whom offers so much to us all. And thank you to everyone who has opened their living space up to us and hosted. This past year we've celebrated Jewish life at the lake (thanks God!), at Ben M.'s, at Deborah and Todd's, at Elliot's, at Laura's, at Meredith's, and at Mila and Steve's. (Please forgive me if I'm missing anyone--and let me know so I can put it up here).

May we be blessed with each other's continued company as we enter our second year. To everyone I wish a hearty l'chaim!


bi'virkat Shalom,
Raysh
