If there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that adding some tasty savory and sweet treats makes any occasion better. Every opportunity for us to gather together is only made better with the presence of a little nosh.

Come together after the Erev Shabbat service with Akselrad* guest speaker Rabbi Sandy Akselrad to enjoy some lovely oneg Shabbat refreshments!
