Women! Join us after Shabbat at 8:00 p.m. in the sukah of Zeesy Posner, 3912 Church, for a Sukos gathering.

This isn't your mother's Jewish country indie folk rock band! Join Lubavitch Chabad of Skokie and the Jewish Youth House at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., for an amazing concert with breakaway hit band, 8th Day!

We are excited to have nabbed a great block of seats, where we can be up close to all the energy and action. Eighth Day is most well-known for their danceably fun song, Ya'alili and their Jewish folksy, country, hip indie rock vibe. They are legendary at Skokie Chabad for having played the music that makes tables collapse! (Photos from that Purim are here :)

Each member of our group will receive a complimentary T-shirt customized for the event. To order your tickets email us at [email protected]. Tickets are limited so hurry, you don't want to miss this great event. Fun for the whole family.

Before Yom Tov we must have a count for the communal Simchas Torah lunch on 10/21. If you intend to join us, we must have your reservations placed here: http://www.skokiechabad.org/1613759
