COMFORT FOOD!

That’s what we all need in these uncertain times, right? And it’s what you’ll get at Kolot’s Nights of Dinners 2009.

This year there are two special nights, April 18 & 25 – join us for conversation, friendship, and great food!

Join us for one or two Saturday evening dinner parties in Brooklyn, graciously hosted by Kolot Chayeinu members. Support our wonderful congregation and have fun with old and new friends.

How much? A $75 donation to Kolot Chayeinu per person. We ask for $125 if you are able to pay more and $45 if you need to pay less.

Here’s how it works:

1. Please click here to select your top 2 choices by April 12th. Descriptions of dinners are listed below.

2. After you finalize your selections, you will be directed to Kolot’s donation page (www.kolotchayeinu.org/donate) where you can make your donation via paypal, or or send a check to:

We’ll do our best to give everyone their first choice and we’ll contact you shortly before the event with the address of the dinner party you will be attending. Please note that this year, all the dinners are for adults only.
