Shira Candies at Shaare Shalom
The Shaare Shalom Synagogue Board and the Religious Council would like to remind the community that no dairy candies are allowed in Shaare Shalom for Shiras. The reasons are as follows: 1) Meat is served in the downstairs children and youth minyans, 2) Some people take the candies home to eat after lunch, and 3)There are people who wait up to 3 hours after eating chocolate before eating meat. In any case, everyone should still make sure that the candies they are offering is parve and not dairy. Please note that some individual candies are not marked. We thank the community for their cooperation.
