After Shabbat Morning Services
- announcing Trey's Traybakes!
Take home a delicious treat baked by Trey Rintala in our own back kitchen! Trey is the former sous chef and pastry chef of Meauxbar. After he lost the restaurant due to the pandemic, he focused his energy on feeding those needing help by establishing Tres Bon Food Fund, a nonprofit that allowed him to prepare meals for unemployed musicians and service industry workers. He now runs Happy Breakfast Trey, a popup that allows him to engage his more whimsical creative side.

CLASSES WITH RABBI SILVER |

Sisterhood Class: Psalms
Wednesdays at 10 AM
**Please note that next week's class, May 26th, will be the last class before summer break**
The 150 poems in the book of Psalms address every aspect of the human condition. Join Rabbi Silver to explore a psalm a week. We’ll consider not only the poem itself but how it speaks to us and how we might integrate its wisdom into our lives. Please do bring along a Tanakh/Bible of your own.
