🌭 BBQ SEASON IS HERE 🍔

Summer is here and we CANNOT WAIT to fire up the grills and enjoy the super fun pre-Shabbes BBQs we have all come to know and love. Grab a burger or hot dog (or both), watch the kids play, catch up with friends in the gorgeous golden hours before we welcome Shabbat as a community.

It wouldn’t be the same without you! Free RSVP: https://templeakiba.shulcloud.com/form/bbq_062026

Temple mom, Toby M, will be there so go say hi (and help celebrate Izzy’s birthday 🎉) don’t forget - you’ve got to drop your receipt in the provided box to participate in the fund raising… and that means ALL the receipts count, so invite your friends and neighbors too!
