Congregation Rinat Yisrael

The Rinat calendar is an interactive, electronic version of the monthly calendar (also posted every month in PDF format as well printed as in the Kol Rinat). The calendar supports the Internet Calendar (iCalendar 2.0) format which is compatible with most modern calendaring applications, such as Outlook 2007 (2003 is currently incompatible), Google Calendar and the new Yahoo Calendar.

 The Shabbat Youth Meals are coming up on Shabbat, Parashat Vayechi.  The Second & Third Graders will have dinner on the January 1st and the Kindergarten and First Graders will have lunch on January 2nd.

You must reserve a spot so we can make sure to have enough food, the deadline for reservations is December 30th.

The cost is $15.00, a reservation is final with payment to the shul office.  

All children will be walked home by a group leader.

Have a great Chanukah and we can't wait for the shabbat meals.
