CBS Sisterhood Catering 

 

We offer affordable and competitively priced kiddush lunches for bar and bat mitzvahs and other simchas. We also provide weekly kiddush lunches on non-simcha weekends. We always welcome sponsorships for our kiddush meals, so that we can offer a delectable meal to all who attend Shabbat services. Come volunteer your time in the kitchen to help our caterer Jan Adler prepare a tasty meal. We are there on Thursday mornings between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm. We schmooze, chat, cook, and have fun. All congregants are welcome to help out. Do a mitzvah for the shul. Our catering is one of our biggest efforts through Sisterhood.

 

Meantime, we are presently offering Curbside Kiddush Brunch/Lunches every other week.  Check Beth Shalom weekly email for upcoming dates where you can order delicious lunches to take home.
