Yasher Koach to MESH Co-Chairs! (Editor’s Note)
For our Co-chairs of MESH at Shomrei, Amy Grossman and Lynne Kurzweil, I’m sure it’s a ton of work and must be more than a little nerve wracking at times. But you’d never know it! Amy and Lynne handled all the organizing and cajoling with grace and smiles! Yasher Koach for enabling our community to participate in this vital mitzvah!

Another successful night at Shomrei’s MESH Cafe. We served a full house of twenty guests who now applaud in anticipation at the mention of the evening’s menu. Linda Ariel graciously took the reins as Captain for the first time….Yasher Koach to Linda!
Report from Captain Lynne Kurzweil:
We welcomed a full house of twenty last night for a delicious meal prepared by Arden Epstein. Starter was a caprese salad followed by the main course of honey roasted steelhead trout, green beans, homemade potato salad and homemade cole slaw with dinner roll. Dessert was pumpkin sprinkle with vanilla ice cream. Our chef received rave reviews from our appreciative and lively guests.
Report from Captain Stuart Green:
Amidst weather that felt more like November than June, Shomrei’s MESH Cafe served dinner to seventeen grateful guests, happy to be in a warm and dry place for a couple of hours. The operation ran so smoothly that we are expecting our first Michelin star any day now.
Report from Captain Alex Kent:
20 hungry guests were served at Shomrei’s MESH Cafe last night. Fern Heinig was the Chef du Jour, whipping up fruit salad to start, followed by a green salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red peppers. The main course was baked salmon with a special spice from Brazil, roasted green beans, and rice, served with buttered rolls. Dessert was yogurt and cookies and mini cheesecakes.
