Community Havdalah set Aug. 9 at the Ranch in Encinitas

Celebrate the end of Shabbat with a community Havdalah from 6-8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, at the Ranch. Meet and mingle with your Jewish neighbors while enjoying a fun (and free) summer evening!

A Havdalah is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of the weekly Shabbat (which starts Friday evening and ends Saturday evening) and greets the new week.

Bring your family dinner (dairy please) to eat as the summer sun sets — we’ll provide a delicious dessert.

Take home a jar of jam after our jam-making and canning demonstration. And fun craft activities for the kids!

Bring your instruments for a ranch-style Havdalah service with a musical jam session led by local star Hilly Rubin.

RSVP by Wed., Aug. 6 to Carole Yellen at caroley@jfssd.org or call 858-637-3395. The Ranch is at 441 Saxony Road in Encinitas.
