Elijah's Table

Elijah's Table

Twice a month, “Elijah's Table,” a joint project of Etz Hayim Synagogue and the Church of the Transfiguration, provides free, family-friendly dinners to the community.

The synagogue hosts its Elijah’s Table on the third Sunday of every month; the Church of the Transfiguration hosts its dinner on the second Sunday of every month. The program is a great way to help the community, and is always great fun for the volunteers and our guests.

A successful dinner depends on many volunteers, as follows:

♦ 3:30-5:00 p.m.: approximately 6 set-up volunteers are needed to ready the room for dinner (for example, to set up the tables in the sanctuary);

♦ 5:00-6:30 p.m.: approximately 8 servers are needed to serve the main course and dessert;

♦ 6:00-7:00 p.m.: approximately 6 clean-up volunteers are needed to wash trays, vacuum, put away the tables, and reconfigure the sanctuary.

♦While our main course is supplied by a caterer, we also generally need donations of vegetables, fruit, and dessert. We post the items that we need on Sign-Up Genius approximately a week before the event. Donations of food should arrive by 4:00 p.m.
