AUGUST IS: MAC & CHEESE!!

1) The August Food of the Month - in a tribute to Yankee Doodle (original name Yankel Doodlestein) - is Macaroni and Cheese.  Please drop off only macaroni and cheese at the Synagogue: feathers stuck in hats and called macaroni cannot be accepted.

Come on by and drop off your box of Mac & Cheese or click here to email Rabbi Simonds and one of our Tikkun Olam drivers will pick it up for you!
