Havdalah Halloween
Visit Beth Israel Congregation for treats and a live Havdalah service with Rav Nadav! Wear your favorite costume and mask! We will be practicing safe social distance outdoors as families work through the different treat-points. Bring your pillowcase or basket to collect treats and have your picture taken in your costume. At 7:00 p.m. Rav Nadav will have Havdalah on the front porch. Please note that masks are required for all participants, staff, and volunteers. Please register so we can be sure to have enough treats for everyone! Click here to register.
In the event of rain, treats will be delivered to those who have registered.
We need volunteers! Interested? Contact Amanda at engage@bethisrael-aa.org.
