Become a part of our Cholent Club!

Three years ago, a small group of "cholent enthusiasts," seeking to enhance Shabbat morning kiddushes beyond just cakes and cookies, came together to form the Cholent Club.  This club generously sponsored a community-wide hot meat kiddush with cholent (of course!) on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh and Shabbat Mevarchim a few times each year. Cholent Club kiddushes have become hugely popular within the YIS community and are in high demand.


The Cholent Club would like to be able to sponsor additional Shabbat kiddushes throughout the year, but they need YOUR help!!! Please join the Cholent Club today to help make YIS Shul kiddushes great again.
