Friday Night Dinner 5/6/11


This past Friday night, May 6, a beautiful Shabbat dinner was held at the new premises of Neshama-Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach on Westend Avenue. There was a full house, including adults and children.

The dinner was sponsored by Michael and Dorina Gottlieb, in memory of Michael's father. Michael spoke about his father Kalman and said, "My father was from a small shtetl, where the shul was destroyed. He felt it was important for Jews to have a place to congregate and pray, so he arranged for people to come together in his home." Michael explained that this is why a communal Friday night dinner is important to him.

The dinner featured delicious food, singing, and a warm and close-knit atmosphere.

Rabbi Avrohom Winner co-director of Neshama-Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach said that he hoped this Friday night dinner would serve as the kickoff for communal Friday night dinners on a consistent basis.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and to Michael and Dorina for sponsoring.
