Join Eshel for a Day at the Beach

August 18, 2019 at 10:00 am - 10:00 pm

Eshel Summer Outing

Register Today!

Shlomo Ashkinazy and his husband Michael Gomillion have generously invited members of Eshel to join them on Sunday, August 18, in Cherry Grove on Fire Island, where they will be spending the week in a lovely rented beach house.

Cherry Grove offers a variety of opportunities for fun activities to choose from including, beautiful beach, hotel pool, nature walks, an extremely friendly community, and a live cabaret pool show at 3 PM. There is also a live show at 6 PM in The Hotel’s Ice Palace Cabaret/Disco for those who plan to stay later.

(the last Ferry from Cherry Grove to Sayville leaves at 11:30 PM)

This invitation is limited to the first 30 people who register and are only open to people who are 21 years old or over.

EVENT INFORMATION:
The beach, the pool, the hotel, the disco, and Shlomo and Michael’s place are all within a 2-minute walk of each other. So, come with the expectation of an active day of fun, while taking advantage of having Shlomo and Michael’s place as a central meeting spot for resting up, washing up, bathroom spot, eating, and coordinating the day (and possible Mincha service) before, between, and after other activities.

We are also hoping to have a late Potluck lunch, so people are requested to bring along a food item to share that would be sufficient to serve 6 people. All food must be kosher and either dairy or pareve.

Don’t Forget to Bring:
Swim Suit
Towel
Beach Blanket
Sandals
Sunglasses
Sunscreen
