Oneg Celebrations
An Oneg is a mitzvah (good deed) to celebrate and sponsor a special occasion, memory, an honor or just because.
Our sponsors for October are Mike and Gerri Koen, celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary. In November, Leslie Klipper Stewart will be celebrating her 70th Birthday with an Oneg for all. December is sponsored anonymously. Come and see who it is! If you have a celebratory or memorial event, please consider sponsoring an Oneg. You can always share the Oneg honors with another.
