As always, the H . anukkiah will be in the front of the shul, visible from the entire parking lot. We will, of course, follow physical distancing guidelines when setting it up. Those of you who have joined us for “Men’s Day” in past Decembers will find that we will be approaching it a little differently this year. Our plan now is to hold it on Sunday, December 13, and brew two batches of beer to be served at the Man of the Year dinner, as usual. This year, though, we will take our brewing outside (weather permitting) so that we can have more people participate than if we were to brew in the kitchen. We may even be able to hold a beer tasting as well.
