Gathers this Friday

Friends,

Kol haKfar -- the Voice of the Village -- gathers this Friday night, June 13th, at 7pm to celebrate Shabbat and to have a potluck vegetarian dinner. Rebecca Milzoff and Abbe Finberg are our hosts at their east side apartment. Zachary will lead an interactive drash -- the parsha this week is B'haalotecha and features trophy wives, leprosy and meat.

Birthright Israel will make a contribution to Kol haKfar for sponsoring a community meal, which we can use to fund future kiddushes. Please RSVP to kolhakfar@yahoo.com and we'll take care of doing the fundraising through Birthright, but we need you to RSVP. This is a potluck meal:

Last names:
A -S: please bring a main dish or two side dishes to share.
T - Z: please bring a beverage to share, kosher wine or fruit juice is a plus.

See you Friday, and please RSVP!
