The suggestion that the shul reinstate the Oneg Shabbat ritual following each Friday night service and the practice of providing a Kiddish lunch each Saturday was met with bravos and hurrahs at the Sunday, March 19 meeting of the shul’s Board of Directors. Shul president Judith Weiner called the idea a “return to a sense of community.” As president of the shul’s Sisterhood group, Adrianne Greenberg was asked to meet in committee to formulate a plan and a start date.

As in the past, the Sisterhood will need members to “take on” a weekend (or a month of weekends) to shop for the food, prepare simple presentations, and cleanup afterward. Maybe that sounds like a lot, but it’s not. Think about a friend coming for coffee and cake, or a sandwich and salad lunch.
