Join SYVJC as we Celebrate the Birthday of the Trees at our Tu B’Shevat Shabbat on January 27th


When you arrive between 4 and 4:30, be sure to enjoy the beautiful view from


our hosts’ home, then shmooze until sunset,


when we will gather for a Havdalah service,


followed by a potluck supper and


learning about the delightful holiday of Tu B’Shevat


The deadline to sign up for this service is January 24th


By clicking on her name, you will be able to communicate directly with Shoshanah who is taking reservations.  Tell her the full names of everyone in your group and what you plan to bring to the potluck. Please label anything you bring with gluten or any common allergens such as peanuts and other nuts, avocadoes, dairy etc.  And, of course, no pork or shellfish dishes.


The address and directions will be sent upon receipt of your RSVP.


We hope you will join us for this festive event


IMPORTANT: Why RSVP? Simply put, so our hosts know


many tables and chairs to set up. And if you find you cannot attend


after making a reservation, please let Shoshanah know that, also.


Also IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT hit reply,


as that will send your response to someone else.


Thank you!


Well, it didn’t actually rain on the 21st, but it was cold, so I guess it was for the best that the Cachuma Boat Cruise was cancelled.


IMPORTANT:  the money you paid for the cruise will be converted to a donation to the SYVJC General Fund. If this is not what you want us to do, please let Shoshanah know, so she can advise the bookkeeper how to handle your payment. If you don’t advise Shoshanah about this by January 25th, the recatorization to a donation to the General Fund will be done automatically.
