Winter Time Kiddush This Shabbat

This Week, we are sponsoring a Winter Time Kiddush. These short Shabbats make it difficult to daven Shaḥarit, have kiddush, go home, have a meal, and be back in time for Minḥa, so we will cook for you.

This will be a full sitdown luncheon kiddush. We will be serving fish and ḥamin. We will have a variety of salads, side dishes, kugels, and of course, cakes.

The Winter Time Kiddush will be after Shaḥarit and Musaf at Congregation Etz Ahaim on October 31.
