Every Rabbi-led Saturday Service ends with a Kiddush. An opportunity for our congregation to socialize and enjoy a Kiddush table, in keeping with the injunction to delight in the Shabbat.
A list of member names is assigned to oversee each Shabbat Kiddush for each Saturday Service on the 2021-2022 calendar. Each member is assigned a corresponding number or code next to their name. Codes correspond to the item(s) each member is responsible for bringing:
1) Challah
2) Fresh fruit or dried figs, dates.
3) Cake and/or cookies
4) Fruit juice – One large bottle and some water
At the bottom you will find the complete list of Kiddush duties. We anticipate 20 to 25 people each monthly session. If it is a special occasion, we will ask people to bring more food or we will order sandwiches – The wine will be provided.
A List of Members Responsible for the Shabbat Kiddush will be contacted by phone.
