Dessert Oneg Sponsors Needed!

Many thanks to our volunteer hosts that provided entrees over the summer. Enthusiasm was high and the food was delicious!

Sponsoring an Oneg is a wonderful opportunity to honor someone's memory on their yahrzeit, celebrate an anniversary or birthday, thank someone special, or observe a special occasion that has meaning to you.
