Join us for shabbat blessings, delicious dinner,
& connecting with BIG community!
For Spring/Summer 2023 we are doing our monthly Shabbos a little more“quick & dirty” with less service and more food + conversation. Each month we will kick off the night with drinks, schmoozing, and time to hang and play in the SIJCC courtyard. This is followed by the usual Shabbat blessings, and a big community meal. During dinner, we feature special guests from our community to talk about issues they are involved with that are important to our Jewish community. This month we will be joined by Miry of Miry’s List, an organization made up of neighbors and friends dedicated to welcoming new arrival refugee families into our community.
RSVP REQUIRED (BELOW)
For April, we will also have a COLLECTION BIN in the SIJCC lobby for the two weeks leading up to Shabbat. Starting Monday April 17th, we will be collecting:
English language picture/visual dictionaries for children and adults.
Coloring books and supplies (pencils, crayons) for kids and adults.
New and used tablets for learning (i.e. Amazon Fire Tablet)
