It’s not everyday that Temple Beth Israel congregants see Rabbi Stephen Sniderman saying the motzi blessing while wearing a sombrero.

But that was the case May 4 at the temple’s last Shabbat dinner of the season. In true Cinco de Mayo fashion, diners munched on burritos and sipped sangria while visiting with friends.
