On Friday, Aug. 27, JARC 
held its annual Shabbat 
Cookout as an in-person 
gathering — safely 
and following COVID 
restrictions.
Despite the heat, it 
was a beautiful evening 
filled with delicious food, 

awesome music and, most 
importantly, camaraderie.
JARC thanks its volun-
teers, Rabbi Joey and Cantor 
Gross and the SQ3 Band. 
The event was sponsored by 
Jack Kaufman on behalf of 
the Ethel Hyman and Rose 
Kaplan Foundation.
