After walking back, at 5 p.m. the group will have a potluck dinner.  At 6 p.m. they will have our Secular Rosh Hashanah ceremony, with readings and
music, followed by a reception with honeycake baked by their Jewish Culture School students, and apples and honey.

Children are welcome. They are asking people to bring a dish to share and, if they like, a donation of canned or boxed food for the food bank. Free to members. $15 for adult (over 13) non-members.

Please let us know via the comments section if we are missing any other local Rosh Hashanah ceremonies and we will add them to the list.
