Fruit Fiesta this Saturday Night!
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had an easy fast, and an even better
post-fast feast;-).
Just a quick reminder about our opening event for the
fall happening this upcoming Saturday; An exotic fruit
and dessert tasting party to welcome
in Sukkot!
KULANU’S HAVDALAH FRUIT FIESTA
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2nd
Wolfond Centre for Jewish Campus Life,
SECOND FLOOR (Patio)
(At the west corner of Harbord and Huron, at UofT)
8PM
RSVP: kulanutoronto-owner@yahoogroups.ca
(RSVPing will help us figure out the fruit
factor...not that too many fruit can ever be a bad
thing :-)
Join us for an unforgettable Havdalah (closing of the
Sabbath, and welcoming of the new week), followed by
fruit and desserts. Oh, and the party will be licensed
(for the fruit, of course. And alcoholic beverages.)
From there, join us for a night on the town!
Quick RSVPs are always appreciated. Also, if anyone is
interested in helping to lead the havdalah, give us a
shout! :0)
Have a great week, looking forward to seeing you all
soon,
Dan Heller

I. FIRST FRUITS FOR FRUIT! (A queer Rosh Hashana
Celebration)
Ever noticed how sexy Rosh Hashana is? Think big
pregnant pumpkins, think pomegranates full of seeds,
think long phallic leeks and carrots. Not to mention
all that fruit and honey. You are invited to a queer
Rosh Hashana celebration second night. Dinner will be
a mix of the familiar and traditional with an urban
queer bent.
I will be hosting the event at my home, there will be
plenty of traditional festive foods, prayers and
discussions. All the food will be vegetarian and there
will be plenty for vegans. I would like to extend an
invitation to Kulanu folks.
I do need to know numbers in advance please RSVP by
Monday September 13th! I'm asking people to bring
$6.00 to help cover costs, and to bring drinks,
enthusiasm and curiosity. Non-Jewish partners are
of course, also welcome.
Please contact me if you have dietary or kashrut
concerns.
When? 2nd night Rosh Hashana...Thursday September
16th
Where? 79 West Lodge Ave (directions will be sent to
you when you confirm your attendance) RSVP
by phone or e-mail 416-533-3001, or
juxtapose@sympatico.ca
Feel free to forward this to any queer Jews who might
enjoy this
event.
