Kiddush Preparation
We are famous for our wonderful kiddush every Shabbat, but it doesn’t happen by itself. Thanks to our community volunteers, we enjoy an amazing kiddush week after week.
Volunteering to set up kiddush is a great way to give back to the community. Please, consider signing up to make cholent before candle lighting or to setup and take down kiddush on Shabbat and Yom Tov.
​Please contact mekorhabracha@gmail.com to volunteer or to send your suggestions and comments.
