Friday, February 26, 6:30 pm ~ Linda Josephs, Great Barrington, MA

      The second "At Home Pot Luck Shabbat Dinner" will be hosted by Linda Josephs.  The theme is "Bring Your Favorite Shabbat Dish and Your Favorite Jewish Joke". 

      Dinner will be buffet style and after dinner, taking advantage of Linda's “little theatre,” those attending are invited to get up in front of an audience of friends and tell their favorite Jewish joke.  It is suggested that you bring 3 jokes, just in case.  Telling a joke is of course optional, however here is perhaps  your once in a lifetime opportunity for comic fame, and for all you hams out there this will give you that mid winter adrenaline rush.  It promises to be a fun evening, with warm food and warm laughs. The more the merrier so bring friends, non members are very welcome.

       We will also be giving prizes for the best jokes....not the delivery.

       Date: Friday, February 26, 6:30 pm

       RSVP date:  Sunday, February 21 with how many and your favorite Shabbat dish

Friday, March 25, 6:30 pm ~  Sandra and Bill Flannery, Richmond, MA

                                   You have one more chance

          Attend the third and final Shabbat dinner of the winter.

      Imagine yourself in Tuscany, Italy, on a patio overlooking olive trees and vineyards.  It is Friday, Kabbalat Shabbat.  You wonder what wonderful Italian food will be on the table for Shabbat dinner.  If you would like to do more than dream about this meal, join the Flannerys at their home for dinner.  It is participatory: meaning that each person who signs up will prepare an assigned recipe to create the menu.  We will light Shabbat candles, enjoy wine from local Montepulchiano vineyards and have an “Italian Shabbat” in Richmond, MA.

     The Flannerys can accommodate 8 guests so RSVP as soon as you can commit to the date.

     Date: Friday, March 25, 6:30 pm

    RSVP date:  Sunday, March 20 with how many and to get your assigned Shabbat dish.
