Whether it's snowy or sunny, we look forward to seeing you at our Shabbat service at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday, April 6 at the MNJCC.
*CORRECTION* - Upcoming Service
Next month's Shabbat service, being held on Saturday, May 4th, is being co-led by long-time member Charlie Lior and our chazzan Daniela Gesundheit, not by Daniela and Lorne Blumer, as was mistakenly announced in our March 31st e update. Our apologies for the error and many thanks to both Charlie and Lorne, for their longstanding and ongoing support.
