Temple Avodah’s Sisterhood sponsored and created its first-ever Cookie Social on July 25, held to welcome and honor the synagogue’s new spiritual leader, Rabbi Jeshayahu “Shai” Beloosesky. And the new rabbi just happens to be a lover of cookies.
Shai took over the reins at Temple Avodah in Oceanside on July 1 from Rabbi Uri Goren, who was the synagogue’s spiritual leader for more than a quarter-century.
More than 65 women and one rabbi feasted on all types of homemade cookies and brownies, and also traded recipes at the event.
