Garden Party
Sunday, Apr 6th 10:00a to 1:00p
In the spirit of embracing social action to help repair the world in which we live, the Tikkun Olam Committee is committed to stewardship of our earth’s environment. One important initiative is beautifying the grounds around the synagogue in a way that nurtures plants that provide habitat for pollinators and other beneficial insect life. We welcome everyone to stop by and party with us on April 6. In addition to the chance to enjoy some really good food, you can view the recently developed garden areas, learn about ideas for new garden areas and, also, learn about the plan to launch a Friends of the Gardens interest group. A special short learning program for children is scheduled for 11:00.
