Our May potluck features a special treat - instead of holding it inside, we will be throwing our Shabbat festivities outdoors, among the flora and fauna of scenic Astoria park!
We will meet May 19th at 6:30pm. 

Email Brian Mawyer to get the location, the link for One Table and the sign-up sheet for what you're bringing. And as always, our potlucks are pareve/dairy only. Have questions for those attending? Go ahead and post them on the Facebook event.

If you would like to host a future Shabbat Potluck or lead a service, please contact Brian Mawyer.

We're teaming up with Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg from Malkhut for some learning and beer on June 8th at 6:30pm. Unsure about the location, but are also interested in bringing this event into someone's living room to prevent the loud noise of a bar making it into our session. 

Can you volunteer your space for some beer and learning? If so, contact 
Sam Schachter! If not a bar will be selected and updated on the Facebook event and the website.
