Tonight we served twenty-eight guests with delicious nutritious food prepared by chefs Sarita Eisenberg and Sarah Steindel. The menu comprised minestrone soup, salmon croquettes on buns with a side of 
salsa, a melange of grilled vegetables, pasta salad, and couscous salad, a desert of chocolate tartes, cookies, and fruit salad. We had fifteen enthusiastic volunteers to plate, serve. and clean up, many of whom are Shomrei teens, four of whom were part of Sarita’s entourage – Lou Hammerman, Marvin Hammerman, Matt Rosen, and Charissa Wijaya – and four of whom were from Montclair State University.
The menu was created using food that was on hand from the kiddush on Shabbat (couscous salad), from Aileen Grossberg’s celebration (salmon croquettes made from the salmon trimmings and the incredible chocolate tartes), and wonderful donations of pasta salad and cookies from a family simcha, in addition to food purchased for this evening. We strive to make healthy meals while consciously using all of the available food.
The guests left satisfied and full and grateful to be our guests.
