There is no cost for the event. Those interested in attending should RSVP to frontoffice@hillelacademyofbc.org or 607-304-4544.

“Please join our students in learning the significance of challah and partake in the preparation of your own challah to enjoy at your Shabbat table,” said organizers of the event. “We will share a delicious lunch and, together with the Hillel Academy students, participate in a musical Kabbalat Shabbat led by our very talented Cantor Rabbi Moshe Shmaryahu. This is a wonderful opportunity to show your support for the students of Hillel Academy and engage with the young Jewish community of Broome County. We look forward to seeing everyone there.”
