  • SHABBAT IN THE PARK

    It’s summer! That means it’s time for Shabbat in the Park!
    Please join in the fun with Gan Shalom Jewish Community Preschool
    Friday, July 31
    Friday, Aug 21
    From 5:30 p.m. until bedtime or dark (whichever comes first) at Stewart Park, by the playground. We’ll meet by the pavilion or else we’ll find a group of tables and a good place to play. Bring your own picnic plates and a veggie or dairy dish to share. Gan Shalom will provide grape juice and challah.
    Rain plan: If there’s a big storm, we’ll all stay home. If the weather is iffy, we’ll try to make Shabbat in the Park happen anyway.
