This item comes courtesy of Samara who writes:
Hello, Miss Heather –
Last month you kindly posted about a wine tasting held at the Greenpoint Shul. We’re having another event and were wondering if you would be willing to post again.
It’s a Moroccan Shabbat with a North-African-themed Kabbalat Shabbat followed by a Moroccan dinner including arak (a liquor) and wine, with a special guest who will share a few brief words. It will take place on Friday, January 7th @ 7:00 p.m. at the Greenpoint Shul (108 Noble St.) and is $13.00 per a person…
If you could post this, we’d greatly appreciate it.
Please come if you can.
Thank you.
Duly posted! I for one think this is really great way to reach out to our Jewish community and beyond. Above all, you should meet the Rabbi. He’s a very nice guy! Check it out:
