If you still don’t have plans for Rosh Hashanah dinner or Break-the-Fast after Yom Kippur, consider this your sign! 🍎🍯

No cooking, no stress—just a delicious meal prepared especially for the occasion, good conversation, plenty of laughter, and the warmth of celebrating with our community.

The holidays pass so quickly, and these are the moments that make them truly special—the ones you’ll be glad you didn’t miss. Come for the food, stay for the people, and let us celebrate together around the same table.

Reserve your place before the tables fill up. We would love to have you with us!

We kicked off religious school with family tefillah, unveiled our summer-long renovation, filled Rosh Hashanah mitzvah bags, and finished it off with a pizza party for all!

Liel and Evyatar brought the fun and taught us fun Israeli games to break the ice!

It’s going to be a great year and we’re only getting started! 🥰

💗 Ahavah Women’s Club — What is it all about?

Q: What is the Ahavah Women’s Club?
A: A group of women from the Tidewater community who want to build a fun social life, make new friends, connect, and simply enjoy some time together!

Q: What’s our first event?
A: 🍷🧀 Cheese & W**e Night! A very casual potluck evening — bring some cheese, w**e, or something yummy to share. No speeches, no agenda. Just a chance to meet, mingle, laugh, and start building our Ahavah network!

Q: Where?
A: At a private home in Kempsville. RSVP and we’ll send you the address.

Q: Do I need to be a Temple Emanuel member?
A: Absolutely not! You can belong to any Jewish organization — or none at all. If you’re a woman in our Tidewater Jewish community, you’re welcome!

Q: Is anyone actually coming? 😜
A: YES! We already have a great group confirmed — and we’d love to add you to it!

💗 RSVP on our website to receive the address. Come meet us and help us kick off Ahavah!
