Hosted Shabbat Dinners in the 'Hood
In addition to our monthly community-wide potlucks, WJOA encourages anyone who wishes to, to host a smaller dinner in their home. Hosts decide whether to have a service, how many people they can accommodate, and whether or not it is potluck style. This is a great time to meet new and old friends in a more intimate setting. Please contact Ally if you are interested in hosting.

3/6 Zahava and Abe will host Board Game Shabbat! At 6pm there will be an abbreviated Kabbalat Shabbat service (without any prayers that require a minyan), followed by dinner and then games. They will cook a kosher dairy meal, but encourage guest to bring dairy or vegetarian side dishes, desserts, and / or wine. They have room for six guests so please RSVP ASAP to Zahava at [email protected].

3/20 Ally will host a small vegetarian Shabbat dinner for 8 guests @ 7pm. Please RSVP to [email protected] by March 19.
