Compiled by Nina CulverKosher Dinner back on track
Now that the remodeling is complete at Temple Beth Shalom, the popular Kosher Dinner will resume after a one-year break.
This year's dinner will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 18. The menu will feature traditional items, such as kosher brisket of beef, potato knishes, carrot tzimmes and apricot kuchen (cake).
Those attending the meal will also have the chance to watch performances of traditional Jewish music, dance and theater.
This will be the first chance for many visitors to see the improvements to the sanctuary and social hall.
Tickets to the dinner are $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12. They can be purchased at Huppin's Hi-Fi and Video, 419 W. Main; Pawn 1 North, 7102 N. Division; or Pawn 1 East at 11812 E. Sprague.
The dinner sells out each year and tickets must be purchased in advance.
For more information, call 747-0227. The temple is located at 1322 E. 30th.
