Shabbat in the Park

Join us on Friday evening to welcome Shabbat under open skies, in a neighborhood park.   It'll be a vegetarian potluck (eggs & dairy okay) with a Kabbalat Shabbat prayer service first.  Like Coffee Shop Shabbat, gone back to the land.

Dates:

Time:  6:30pm

Cost:  Free!
Bring:  A sweater.  Serving utensils for your dish.  For ecological reasons, we invite people to bring their own plates, silverware & cups (we'll have paper plates as back-up, but would prefer to create less waste.)  A picnic blanket could be nice too. 

A few of you have asked what you can bring for the potluck.  We'll be happy with whatever you bring, but if you'd like a few ideas:

  • Those born in January & February - green salad
  • March, April & May - casserole, lasagna, quiche, kugel, spanakopita
  • June, July & August - dishes with root vegetables (i.e. carrots, beets)
  • September, October & November - grains or beans (couscous, chickpeas, quinoa, chili)
  • December - drinks, desserts or dips

Please remember to bring serving utensils for your dish too.

A note about kids:   The programming is geared more toward adults than kids.  There are separate Family Shabbats in the Park, with programming specifically for kids, on other days.  But the park is a great environment for kids to play, and they're 100% welcome to attend.
