August Events & Announcements

WJOA Presents: A Songwriter's Showcase

Picture
Dan Rauchwerk has worked hard to put together a "Jewish Songwriters in the Round" event featuring three local Jewish songwriters (Dan along with Sam Kestenbaum, and Andrew Weiss) on August 3, 8pm at the ShillelaghTavern. They will be playing their songs and discussing the motivation behind writing them. While the songs are not necessarily religious in nature, Jewish culture plays a significant role in their creative process. For updates see the Faceback event page.

Shabbat Across Astoria Potluck

​We are trying something new August 18th – Shabbat Across Astoria. We will have simultaneous services and potlucks at different apartments around our neighborhood. The more attendees we have, the more locations, so attendance is only limited by your imagination.

If you would like to RSVP or if you are able to host a group of 8 or more guests, contact Brian Mawyer. This exists on Facebook too!
