The monthly Shabbat dinner at Temple Beth Israel featured a culinary twist on March 19. Members gathered to have an evening of friendship and Italian food. 

More than 100 members came to Temple Beth Israel to have dinner together before Shabbat services began. On March 18, the theme was Italian Night, and diners came to their tables with fresh bruschetta waiting for them. Before they made their way to their tables and eventually their dinners, attendees mingled about the social hall catching up with each other.
