Rabbi Andrew, Tali and Asher will be hosting live from New York a musical Havdala and candle lighting on our Sunday morning, details below.
The Yiddish Club is back! Led by member Jack Halpern (of Kanji Learner Dictionary’s fame), the club is open to all levels and will be meeting in person after a long hiatus. If you would like to join, please reply to this email for more details.
