Community Kiddush Potluck

What is the Community Kiddush Potluck?

Our Kiddush Potluck is a communal gathering where everyone contributes a dish to share after Saturday morning service. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, enjoy a variety of delicious foods, and make Shabbat even more special. Whether you’re a regular attendee or new to our community, you’re warmly invited to join us.

How It Works

1. Sign Up: Use the form below to let us know what dish you'd like to bring. Whether it's a salad, main course, or dessert, every contribution is appreciated.

2. Bring Your Dish: On the day of the event, bring your dish to the Kiddush. Please ensure your dish is clearly labeled with ingredients to accommodate those with dietary restrictions.

3. Enjoy and Connect: After services, we’ll gather together to enjoy the food and each other’s company. This is a great time to meet new people and deepen connections within our community.
