KESHER ANNOUNCEMENTS
HACHNASAT ORCHIM SHABBAT
All Kesher members are invited to participate in our annual Hachnasat Orchim Shabbat on November 8-9, Shabbat Lech Lecha. We will be having our family-friendly Kabbalat Shabbat followed by a communal dinner in the shul.
The event continues shabbat day with Shabbat lunch at members' homes where we hope every family in Kesher either hosts or is hosted by another family - a Mitzvah we learn from Avraham's opening of his tent in Parshat Vayeira.
