This Shabbat - Shabbat Dinner in French! - Dec 14

Après les Shabbats israélien, russe, mexicain, éthiopien...etc il ne manquait plus qu'un bon dîner de shabbat français. On parle évidemment de cuisine bien de "chez nous" : une bonne salade cuite, un poisson de shabbat, une chakchouka, des boulettes.... On organise donc un petit Shabbat français le vendredi 14 décembre à la Stanton Street Schul. Stanton est la plus vieille synagogue en activité downtown, un bijou d histoire au coeur du Lower East Side. Ce sera l'occasion de nous y réunir dans une ambiance bon enfant, chaleureuse et détendue...

Join us for a talk followed by a walking tour of the Stanton Street Shul and the surrounding area led by Dr. Elissa Sampson for Yiddish New York. You'll learn about the neighborhood's historic synagogues, old tenements, landsmanshaftn, and visit a community garden that tells a tale of the LES's evolution. Bring your walking shoes! The talk will run from 1-1:30PM, with the walking tour from 1:30-2:30PM (if it rains, we'll spend more time inside). This event is free.

Everything Might be Closed on December 25th... But Not the Stanton Street Shul!
