Milk & Honey Family Brunch This Sunday May 12th 10- noon 
Join a family focused celebration of Shavuot, a holiday most associated with milk. Why milk? It is believed that we eat dairy to symbolize the "land flowing with milk and honey", also the Torah is likened to milk.
Oh, and it's Mothers Day and what's better symbolism than milk!
In honor of a wonderful holiday, and because we all love Mama, we invite you to join us wearing ALL WHITE ( that's right, don't be afraid).
Our brunch celebration will feature blintchiki w tvorog, varied flavors of milk for the kids and mimosas for the parents. We will run a workshop on making butter and yogurt by hand and a talk on the history of milk and milk products. You will leave knowing more about milk then you ever thought possible.
Our location in Park Slope features an in and outdoor space so we will take advantage of warm weather but be safe in case of rain.
Toys, live kids music, workshops in Russian, old and new friends of all ages, mothers day morning with family, traditions, stories, gifts from ANBBaby, milk and honey flowing...
TotTussovka and RJeneration team up again!

Four Friday Nights A guided tour of the synagogue experience May 17th, 31st. June 7th, 14th 
We invite you to encounter services in a different way, as guests of four distinct communities. Join other like-minded RJen'ers for an authentic experience of Friday night services and dinner in
continuing exploration of Judaism, prayer and the inner journey.
We will venture into four vibrant and very different synagogues in NYC over the course of May and June to experience the vibe, community, and space created by each of these institutions. These Shuls range in style and substance, in level of adherence to tradition (Orthodox to Jewish Renewal), and in a myriad of other ways.
Fri May 17th - The Carlebach Shul, UWS, 7PM (services start 7:30PM)
Fir May 31st - Congregation Beit Simhat Torah, Chelsea, 6:30PM (services start 7PM)
Fri Jun 7th - Romemu, UWS, 6PM (services start 6:30PM)
Fri Jun 14th - Bnai Jeshurun, UWS, 6:30PM (services start at 7PM)
There will be a 1/2 hour introduction and Q&A session before we go into each synagogue. For the first three visits, after services, the group will be hosted for a full Shabbat dinner with the Rabbi or Rabbinical Assistant.
After our final visit on June 14th, we will organize a Shabbat dinner just for us -the participants, to decompress, discuss what we experienced and learned, how we felt...
This program is conceived as a unified series, comprising of 4 visits. For a full experience, we ask that you try to make it to all four sessions. Space is very limited and the program is amazing.
Cost per evening (for the dinner): TBD

About RJeneration
Born in the Soviet Union -- made in AmericaWe came to America as kids and teens, brought by our parents. Some were born enroute, and some were born here. We are a generation of Americans with a second culture and language, a Russian heritage, Jewish roots, and a defining immigrant experience. We've juggled our "hybrid" Russian-Jewish-American identity throughout our lives.Many of us went to the top high schools and colleges in the country. English is our primary language, but we still speak Russian. Runglish is also our style. We're Jewish, despite yeshiva traumas. We're in our 20's and 30's, busy building successful careers in every imaginable field. Some of us are already household names - Sergey Brin, Gary Shteyngart, David Bezmozgis, Lenny Krayzelberg, Mila Kunis, Regina Spektor. Many others are sure to follow and make their mark.The RJeneration community brings us together to network, make connections, explore the richness of our unique Russian-Jewish-American identity, showcase and celebrate RJeneration's rising stars, and engage in Russian and Jewish life all around us.For more information visit our website at: http://www.RJeneration.org
