613+ Shabbat Dinners
Beth Am is taking “feels like home” to new heights in the year 5772 with the introduction of The Year of 613+ Shabbat Dinners, an exciting new initiative to connect our members to one another around the Shabbat table. Members will be asked to host or invited to participate in Shabbat dinners throughout the year, with our goal to reach 613 (or more) and engage each and every Beth Am family by Rosh Hashanah 5773.
Did you host a 613+ shabbat dinner? Tell us about it.
