Bring a roll of wrapping or two and join fellow Jewish 20 and 30 somethings to wrap the goodies we’ve gathered. Once wrapped, Jewish Family Services will be distributing them to deserving children. This wrapping party is heating up with Hanukkah flair. They’ll be music, nosh, dreidels, a raffle and more.
Don’t worry if you aren’t confident in your wrapping skills, we’ll teach you, or you can pitch in other ways, sorting and labeling, making cards, just adding ribbons and bows, or just simply schmoozing with old and new friends.
This is the last time to make a donation of a new toy for new born to age 17, in its original packaging for this years toy drive.

Many young adults came out last Monday to enjoy dinner in the Schonbruns’ sukkah. Thanks to Rabbi Schonbrun for cooking us the yummy kosher dinner. No one left hungry. It was great to celebrate the festival with old and new friends and the weather was very pleasant. It’s the 3rd year the Schonbrun’s have had the Young Adult Group as their guests for Hanging in the Hut and we truly appreciate it. We also collected a bunch of Toys for our Toy Drive, keep them coming.
