Return of “Hangout with Cantor Jeff”

After a holiday break, we are back! Services begin at 6:30pm, and afterwards (approximately 7:30pm) we will get together as usual to eat, sing, and shmooze! One hot dish will be provided by TJC, so please bring dairy/vegetarian potluck if possible. Since there are no Jewish holidays this month, we will focus on singing Shabbat songs, both old favorites and ones that may be new to you (and Thanksgiving might sneak in…).
It will be REALLY heimish, and absolutely ALL are welcome (kids too!), so please be sure to come.
