Please bring kiddush items to share.
We're looking for hosts for July 10th (potluck) and July 24th. Please email us (kolhakfar@yahoo.com) if you'd like to open up your home to the minyan.

June 12th gathering

Lansmen/women,

Kol haKfar -- the downtown egalitarian minyan -- gathers this Friday night June 12th at the lovely apartment in the sky of Ben Folkinshteyn and Jennie Woltz. Please join us at 7pm and please bring a kosher item to share for our kiddush. Kosher wine, cookies or fruit are always welcome.

----Please email us at kolhafkar@yahoo.com for the address----

We will be gathering again June 26th, July 10th and July 24th.

We're seeking hosts for July -- please email kolhakfar.hosting@gmail.com telling us when you can open your home to the minyan. We'll be having our monthly potluck on July 10th for those who'd like to host that night. Rabbinical sources tell us it's a mitzvah to host, and guarantees a fulfillment of a major life goal.*

For those keeping score, we'll return to our standard 1st and 3rd Friday schedule in August.

Happy Hunting,

KhK

*Assuming one of your major life goals is welcoming new friends to your apartment.

Dear Friends,

Please join us this Friday evening at 7pm to celebrate Shabbat, enjoy a potluck DAIRY meal and engage in a late night tikkun -- study session -- about the holiday of Shavuot, which kicks off this Thursday evening and continues to Saturday night.

Please RSVP and indicate what you can bring to share. Doesn't have to be kosher if it's vegetarian. We need side courses that can be cooked at home or picked up from Gourmet Garage or someplace like that. We don't need hummus (the honorable Paul Fischer takes care of that with his homemade recipe) and we'll always be happy for wine and non-alcoholic beverages.

Zachary Thacher's place -- 7pm
41 Grove St, 4B
(Between Bleecker and Bedford in the West Village)

Happy four-day work week! (Or even less if you're taking off Friday for the chag.)

Zachary and Co.
