Bad Shabbos TONIGHT, Wednesday, August 13, 7-9pm at the Stowe Cinema movie tickets are $15 at the door
Bad Shabbos is a darkly hilarious comedy that follows two couples at what begins as a typical Shabbat dinner. But when an unexpected death (or is it murder?) throws the evening into chaos, things quickly spiral out of control. This modern screwball comedy is full of sharp humor, heart, and Shabbat mayhem.
Join us for Shabbat morning service and to celebrate as Nico is called to the Torah as a Mitzvah. Mazel tov to the whole Moloff family. This week's parshah/Torah portion is Eikev. Learn more about Nico HERE.
MAZEL TOV
On 8/7 Paul and Karen Stewart became proud grandparents of Ezra Bastian Ruano, son of Allison and David Ruano. Mazel Tov!
