Join us after tefillah on February 4 for our annual anniversary community lunch where we'll celebrate seven years of Washington Square Minyan! Please RSVP by Tuesday, January 31, if you are planning to join us.

There is no cost to join us for lunch. However, please consider making a donation to WSM - in honor of our birthday! Washington Square Minyan considers community-wide Shabbat meals an integral part of the services we offer. Your contribution of any amount will go a long way toward helping us fund this and future community meals.

We need someone to coordinate the meal (contacting the caterer, organizing volunteers to shop and set up).  If you can help out, please contact Rachel Sohn.
