Shabbat dinner with your friends at Hillel. The perfect end to a busy week.
As we move toward the shortest days and longest nights, the darkest time of the year, many traditions look at the things that frighten us. Judiasm has a long tradition of scary tales of the supernatural. After dinner we will read some of them…if you’re not too frightened.
Everyone is welcome, so bring a friend!
