Join the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County and Jewish Family Services for a thoughtful and engaging presentation on New Beginnings and the Jewish Calendar.

Presented by Rabbi Jeff Stombaugh, Senior Rabbi at Vassar Temple, this program explores the Jewish calendar as a beautiful, cyclical guide to living with intention. Together, we’ll look at the holidays you know and love—along with others that may be less familiar—to better understand how Judaism marks sacred time.

The Jewish calendar carries us through moments of joy and reflection, spiritual highs and lows, always grounding us in community. During our time together, we’ll consider how these rhythms can shape our own lives with deeper meaning and purpose as we begin 2026 with curiosity, reflection, and renewed intention.

? This week’s menu:
Minestrone soup, noodle kugel, gluten-free noodle kugel, tossed salad, and cookies
Menu subject to change. Gluten-free option available upon request.
