On 8-3-03, an open house was held at Agudas Israel Synagogue. Entitled "A Taste of Tradition," it was offered as a community outreach program, with five holidays spotlighted. Tables in the social hall were dressed with traditional foods, dinnerware and an explanation of each holiday. An open invitation was given to area churches, public figures and neighbors. A huge success, this event yielded a guest list of over 400 people from the surrounding communities and better understanding of who we are / what we are all about.
