Congregation Beth Shalom

Friday, October 24, 2025 - 7:00pm - Shabbat Services

Join Special Guest Speaker; Maggie Anton award-winning author of historical fiction, as well as a Talmud scholar with expertise in Jewish women’s history. In 1992 she joined a women’s Talmud class, there, to her surprise, she fell in love with Talmud, a passion that has continued unabated for over thirty years. Intrigued that the great Jewish scholar Rashi had no sons, only daughters, she started researching the family and their community. Maggie will be sharing her insights into her most recent book: The Midwife's Escape: Egypt to Jericho and selling her novels at 6:30pm, prior to services.

Saturday, October 25, 2025 - 10:00am - Join us as Oscar Kurtz is called to the Torah

My name is Oscar Kurtz and I am a 7th grade student at Albert Einstein Middle School. On Saturday, October 25 I will be called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah. My Torah portion is the story of Noah. My Bar Mitzvah project has been volunteering in the Beth Shalom kitchen and at the Food Faire helping cook and clean for community events. I will also be helping with the food drive in November. My hobbies are basketball, learning about history, and caring for my several pets.

Thank You from the Sacramento Jewish Food Faire Chairs

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible team of more than 50 volunteers who made the 48th Annual Sacramento Jewish Food Faire such a remarkable success. Your energy, dedication, and countless hours of hard work truly brought this beloved community tradition to life.

Because of your efforts, we sold out of deli food in just two hours, and our bakery followed soon after—gone in a little over two! More than 2,000 attendees came together to celebrate Jewish culture, community, and cuisine, alongside 27 outstanding local vendors who filled the Scottish Rite Center with warmth, laughter, and delicious aromas.

This event wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of you—whether you were baking, cooking, setting up, cleaning, selling, greeting, or keeping the spirit high throughout the day. You helped create an unforgettable experience that reminded us all of the power of community and tradition.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Alexia Hughes & Theresa Golden
Chairs, Sacramento Jewish Food Faire
