PAST EVENTS:Rivercats Game - Jewish Community Night
It was a stormy and raining day in May but a few brave souls ventured out to Raley Field to enjoy a game of baseball! The rain cleared and as the Rivercats took on the Nashville Sounds we ate our weight in hot dogs, chili fries and churros, so it was a good time had by all! Hopefully next year we will get a gorgeous sunny day and we can expand the Sababah cheering area to fill an entire section!!! A big thank you to Melanie Levy for hooking us up with great tickets and putting our name up on the billboard sign! Very cool! 2nd Shabbas Dinner and Services at CBI End of the Matzah Madness at Chicago FireDeep dish, cheesy toppings and hops made for a delicious end to the celebration of Passover with our fellow 20-30 somethings in April 2010. See pictures and connect with fellow Sababah-ites on Facebook. Community Seder at B'Nai Israel The 20-30's regaled the masses with their participation in the celebration of Passover at B'Nai in March 2010. They sang, they shook their maracas and emptied the Manischewitz. It was a good time had by all!

The Sababah table at 2nd Shabbas in April 2010 may have been small but we were mighty! The Asian-influence food was fantastic and we brought our own energy to services which made it a great evening!
