The weeks of anticipation were almost over. Shavuot was just a couple days away. Shomrei’s preparations for the community Tikkun were in high gear especially in the kitchen where the refrigerator shelves were overflowing with butter and eggs, vegetables and fruit.
The quiches had been baked; the cheesecakes were here, too. The blintzes were being prepped.
But what about the kugel? It’s not Shavuot without kugel. And why kugel and other dairy dishes? Continue reading
Eighty (80!) people attended Shomrei’s Syria Supper Club Sukkot Dinner on October 8. The dinner featured bountiful, delicious vegetarian food prepared in Shomrei’s kitchen by three Syrian cooks who have been recently resettled in the U.S.
Rabbi Greenstein welcomed everyone in the sukkah, and then we moved inside (the weather was threatening) for the meal. It was a win-win event all around; attendees enjoyed a delicious meal and the cooks displayed their cooking talents and earned some income to help support their families.

120 people gathered at Shomrei on Saturday March 4th to honor Rich Epstein and Susan Lazev at “Mensches & Martinis” our annual Honor Night celebration. Accompanied by the marvelous Stepansky-Posada Jazz Ensemble, the evening began with an elegant cocktail hour followed by catered feast.
Welcome to Shomrei!
Gail and Ian Stocks relocated their empty nest this past year to Montclair. They love all this town has to offer, already volunteering to put up our Sukkah at Shomrei, while also volunteering with local organizations here like Outpost in the Burbs and Bike and Walk Montclair.
Gail is a pediatric occupational therapist at the Phoenix Center, and Ian is a managing director at Tradeweb. Their daughter, Shannon, attends the speech-language pathology graduate program at New York Medical College. Their son, Collin graduated The Cooper Union with a degree in electrical engineering and currently works as lead engineer at Spincar.
But mostly you are likely to find Gail and Ian walking their dog, Cozi throughout every park in this beautiful town!
We are delighted that Gail & Ian are now members of the Shomrei family!
