Potluck Shabbat at R. Sara’s (PASSED)

Posted on by

When: PASSED (Friday, July 27, 2012 from 8:00 – 11:00pm)
Where: Sara & Ezra Rich’s house (email jgap@princeton.edu for address)

Once again, we had an amazing summer Shabbat with JGAP. Thanks to those who joined us this week! A few of us met ahead of time at 6:45pm at Sara & Ezra’s house, and walked over to the Highland Park Conservative Temple, located at 201 South 3rd Avenue, Highland Park, NJ, for their 7:00pm services.

Dinner was served at 8:00pm. This week, Sara & Ezra served delicious vegetarian lasagna, a dairy-free pasta option, challah, and drinks. Our guests brought salad, dessert, fruit, and wine. Delicious!

We look forward to our next Shabbat, which will be towards the end of the summer at Shilpa & Sloane’s house, again. See the BBQ Shabbat Event Post for more details. Once again, please RSVP ahead of time if you can attend, and let us know what food you will be able to con­tribute. Feel free to join us for ser­vices, too; we would love to incor­po­rate your favorite tra­di­tions and tunes! Until next time – Shabbat Shalom, JGAP!

It was such an honor hosting our first Shabbat – thank you for helping make it so special! We had over 20 guests arrive in time for Shabbat dinner. Thank you to Matthew Feldman and Aaron Blankstein for leading us in Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv services (respectively)! We had conservative services start at 6:45pm, and we provided Shabbat candles, siddurim from the Princeton CJL, Hebrew transliterations, and extra kippot (yamulkas).

We had a kosher milchig (dairy) dinner at 7:45pm. We served salmon, green beans with garlic, and couscous (thanks for the compliments!). Sloane made amazing honey and date challah, mmm. Thank you to our guests for bringing wine, hummus and veggies, cookies and other desserts. We look forward to seeing you at our next Shabbat, which will be held at Sara & Ezra Rich’s home in Highland Park, NJ. See the July 27 Potluck Shabbat Event Post for more information. Shabbat Shalom!
