Brunch: the best meal of Shabbat

Jewish Community of Greater Stowe

Dear JCOGS family,

Pancakes and waffles (regular and gluten-free/vegan), quiche, cheese platter, fresh berries, kale salad, compote, coffee, and plenty of maple syrup! Alison and I are hosting Shabbat brunch tomorrow/Saturday, July 2 at our home from 10:30am-1pm. A casual affair for all-ages, show up anytime, and bring anyone else along, with seating indoors and out on the porch. RSVP for our address.

“Oneg” means joy in Hebrew. We speak of “oneg Shabbat,” the joy of Shabbat, generally, but almost always it is referring specifically to food. Sometimes the way to the heart is through the kishkes, the Yiddish expression for intestines. One of the great joys of Shabbat is delighting in food and each other’s company.

I hope you will join us.

Tihiyu bri’im, be well. Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi David

P.S. The annual JCOGS BBQ is only a week from Sunday, July 10 @ 4:30pm. This one sold out last year, so get your tickets soon here.
