Kol haKfarians,

Kol haKfar, the downtown egalitarian minyan, meets this Friday, October 21st near Union Square to celebrate Shabbat with davening and a potluck dairy meal. Please RSVP at kolhakfar@yahoo.com or on our spreadsheet at http://bit.ly/hP3gSj and let us know what you're bringing and how many are in your party. Please bring vegetarian side dishes, salads & wine or other beverages to share (no heksher necessary), but the peanut-allergic host respectfully requests that no dishes contain peanut products.

We believe that local organizations know what’s best for their own communities, and so we support their work to fight poverty, hunger and disease from the ground up, working among the people of the developing world regardless of race, religion or nationality.

Shavua tov,

Carrie from KhK
