October Shabbat Gathering: THIS Friday

Hello friends!

After a whirlwind of holiday activity, we can now look forward to kicking it regular Shabbat style, with song, wine, and women (yes, we have many females in our lofty ranks!)...aaaaand food!

The mostly arbitrary theme of this coming Shabbat shindig is "fancy shmancy." Decide for yourself what that means and we'll play along. It could be how you and/or the food you bring appears, etc. etc.

Most important is your company, so RSVP at your soonest convenience, since space is limited.  Please feel free to bring new friends, just let us know the # you're expecting and what you're bringing to share.

To that end, let's fill out this list, ja?

Sukkah building gathering (tomorrow!) and party next week

Dear friends,

I hope everyone had a meaningful YK, and that this finds you replenished food-wise!  We have two exciting Sukkot-related events coming up, and we look forward to celebrating with you.

Tomorrow, at Jon and Chaya's house (3321 Pillsbury Ave S--in their backyard, to be precise), we'll build the UH sukkah. Please arrive by 4pm to lend a hand and then kick back and hang out afterwards. 

Then, on Tuesday, October 18, at 7:30pm, we hope you can stop by for a l'chaim and some quality dessert fare as we celebrate Sukkot. This shindig will be potluck style, so please bring some delicious nosh and/or spirited beverage to share. If you have an extra easily portable chair or two, please bring that along.  As always, new friends are welcome too!


Shavua tov and a good year to all,
Raysh
