Greetings!

Thank you to all the student leaders and participants that made our opening week of events more successful than we could have imagined.  Each day students filled our building eating at our BBQ, making mezuzahs at our workshop, baking challah and singing at our open mic night and of course squeezing into one of our largest Shabbat programs ever.
And the fun continues this week.  Check out the opportunities below and as always if you don't see the type of program you're looking for, contact me to make it happen.
Thanks,
Mike
