Once the guests leave the Hechtmans, they will head to their assigned host house.  Hosts are responsible to serve a salad, main dish with some side dishes, bread, and something to drink. Temple Beth Or provides each host house with two bottles of wine -- one red and one white.  

You and your guests eat and talk for a couple of hours and leave to return back the Hechtman home by 10 p.m. for the desserts, also provided by many of the attendees. It's a great way to rekindle old friendships and make new ones.  

Best,

Annette & Irene
