Vamos a tapear! Enjoy an evening of (fleishig) tapas & sangria: authentic (and some non-authentic) pintxos with a variety of seasonal sangrias. The dishes may be small, but the meal will not be (it's a full dinner). Hosted by Nicole Goldstein, Franklin Rubinstein, and Meir & Noa Stein. They can accommodate 10 guests (adults and children) in addition to themselves, and will also invite 4 new(ish) members. We will meet at shul at 6:45 pm for davening then walk to dinner.
We hope you are having a wonderful start to the summer. We are following up on the message from the board that was shared with the community on April 20, 2018.
After an extensive due diligence process, review by the shul's Building Committee, and approval by the shul's Board of Directors, we are happy to announce that our kitchens modernization / safety upgrade project will be commencing. This project is necessary to ensure the shul's insurability. On-site construction will begin on Monday, July 9th. The scope of this project includes new cooking equipment, fire safety hoods, new exhaust fans, and other necessary electrical upgrades.
We expect the project to last approximately six weeks. During this time, the kitchens will be closed, and access to certain downstairs areas near the kitchens (e.g. hallway/apartment) will be restricted. Additionally, there will be some construction in the Chadar Tikvah.
