Toda rabah v’Shabbat Shalom! Once again, we had an amazing Shabbat with all of you who were able to attend! We had conservative Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma’ariv services start at 6:45pm, and had a few of you request your favorite tunes for different psalms. Thanks! Once again – our services are casual, and we are happy to incorporate any traditions or tunes our guests request. We provide Hebrew transliterations, siddurim, and extra kippot (yamulkas).

Dinner was served at 7:45pm. This week, we had a kosher fleischig (meat) Shabbat, and served glatt kosher hamburgers, black bean burgers, and veggie burgers, along with delicious veggie kebabs and our usual kosher challah and wine. Our guests brought salad, hummus and other dips, veggies, pareve cookies and banana bread for dessert, and more wine than we could drink. Yum! Shabbat was a total blast, and we already can’t wait for next time. We hope to have our next JGAP Shabbat during the semester on a break week for Princeton University, when the Princeton CJL does not normally have services. We look forward to next time, and thanks to those who were able to make it!
