A great time was had by all at our Sukkah Bash, Sunday, October the 19th. Thank G-d, the weather held out, and over 20 people joined us in the New West End Synagogue’s Sukkah. The party lasted well over three hours and many people made new friends, and met new people. The party was a combined effort of numerous individuals, who joined together in creating an unforgettable evening. |
