ONEG
How to Host an Oneg
- Tables and chairs will be set up for you. There will be one round table nearer the stage for the food, and 3 other round tables will have chairs set around them. There will also be one rectangular table for the challah, kiddush cups, and beverages.
- Tablecloths will be in the closet in the kitchen.
- The Temple provides the grape juice and wine for kiddush. You will need to pour about 24 small cups of juice for kiddush, and fill the Kiddush cup with a small amount of wine for the service leader.
- Dishes, silverware, glasses, serving trays, etc. are all provided in the pantry.
- You will need to bring enough for 24 – 30 people:
- One unsliced challah. You can buy it at Safeway, Trader Joe’s, a bakery, etc. There is a challah tray and cover in the pantry.
- Something savory, such as cheese, veggies & dip, pretzels, chips, nuts, etc.
- Something sweet like cookies, sliced cake, pastry, etc.
- Fruit
- Juice, sparkling water, iced tea, etc. The Temple provides coffee and tea.
- The food should be set out before the service, with the coffee, ice, and other temperature-sensitive items being set out near the end of the service.
- You may want to place a plant, flowers, or some other centerpiece on the table to enhance the beauty of the celebration. There is an artificial flower arrangement in the pantry that you can use, if you wish.
