    5th Shul Dinner
    Sunday, Jun 16th 6:00p to 9:00p
    This year’s Dinner will take place on Sunday evening June 16th and once again showcases the unique warmth that exists between all members of the Kehilla, no matter how long they have been at Darchei Noam. We will show gratitude and give recognition to two important families in Darchei Noam. One of the families has been part of Fair Lawn for many years and have been part of Darchei Noam since its inception and the other who moved to Fair Lawn more recently. Both families have made a huge impact on our Congregation and we are delighted to have an opportunity to thank them: Rabbi Avi & Leah Herzog and Oren & Rachel Kravetz.
