Shabbat Services

Friday, March 1, 2019, 7:30 p.m. Potluck oneg–please bring something to share! We are also looking for an oneg host—and we’ve changed the responsibilities to make hosting easier! Oneg hosts should arrive approximately half an hour prior to services, with a challah, set up juice and wine glasses, napkins, etc. for the oneg, and prepare a pot of coffee and hot water for tea. The oneg host is also the person responsible for clean up after services, including loading and starting the dishwasher and running a vacuum over the rug. Hosts are not responsible for any food other than the challah. If you would like to volunteer for any week, please email oneg@temv.org with your preferred dates.​

IntercomNote that our intercom and camera is now installed! When you arrive at 151 Warren St., press the rectangular silver button, right above where it says “200 TEMV,” and someone will unlock the door from upstairs. The door will unlock but please note there is no audible “buzz.”
