Schmooze News Items
On 12/15 from 6-8pm Lab Shul will be hosting their monthly study session / exploration of the Shmita year as part of the Lab Shul's Fallow Lab project. Click HERE for more information.

We are always looking for volunteers to host upcoming Shabbat dinners. Please feel comfortable hosting 20-25 people in your home. Anyone interested in hosting should contact Ally. If you do not have the space to accommodate a large group but would still like to host, please consider hosting a smaller "unofficial" potluck that can take place in addition to our monthly dinner.  

As always, don't hesitate to send any stories/updates my way.
