The Oneg (meaning “delight of”) Shabbat is the after service collation which gives congregants and visitors a chance to socialize and enjoy some refreshments. The oneg is part of the Friday evening celebration of Shabbat. The Kiddush serves the same purpose after the morning service. The term “Kiddush” means sanctification and is used to reflect the blessing over the wine that is recited. All worshippers, visitors as well as members are warmly welcomed to these gatherings.
Temple Sinai has a long tradition of members working together to make wonderful things happen at our synagogue. It is our custom, in keeping with this tradition, to ask members to take a turn once every two years to set up for the Oneg following the Friday evening Shabbat services. This is an enjoyable opportunity for members to give a small amount of time, from which the congregation benefits a great deal. Each week about 4 families are assigned to set up the Oneg. Families will be sent notice about six weeks in advance. Their names will also be listed in the bulletin.
