Gratitude for a Beautiful Shtiebl Evening

Our hearts are full after this past weekend’s Shtiebl Community Havdalah Potluck. As we crossed the threshold from Shabbat into a new week—through the ritual of Havdalah—we did so surrounded by warmth, song, shared food, and the presence of each one of you.

Thank you to everyone who came, who brought dishes, who shared their voices, their stories, their laughter, and their spirit. These gatherings are woven from the simple yet powerful act of showing up—and each of you made the space feel alive, intimate, and deeply connected.

A special thank you to Aly Cohen for your presence, care, and contribution—you helped hold and uplift the spirit of the evening in a truly meaningful way.

In the essence of the Shtiebl, we created something more than an event—we created a moment of belonging. A circle of souls remembering what it means to be in community.

May the sweetness of the spices linger, the light of the candle guide us forward, and the nourishment of being together carry into the days ahead.

With deep gratitude and love,
The N.E.S.T.
