Sat. - March 20

See you on Sat.?

Are you one of the people feeling rested from last weekend's Havurah retreat?
Feeling invigorated by it?
Maybe you're feeling invigorated by the arrival of Spring and sunshine?
Or perhaps you're in search of invigoration?
Maybe you're just looking for a nice place to daven with Ruach?

Lucky for you...

Zoo Minyan is meeting this Sat.

We'll be gathering for davenning, lunch, shmoozing, singing, etc., next Saturday in Woodley Park (within walking distance of the Zoo, as is Zoo Minyan custom) at Deborah and Shalom's house.
