We hope you can join us for the very last Lakefront Shabbat of the summer! Finally a sunny forecast ☀️ just in time to celebrate a decade with our beloved Rabbi Rachel Weiss. If this is your first time at a JRC Lakefront Shabbat, it’s super casual, and extremely welcoming. Just bring a blanket or chairs, and a dish to share at the potluck (nut-free/sesame-free, vegetarian or kosher fish). Everyone is welcome!
