What better way to celebrate the winding down of summer than with our summer community Shabbat Bar-B-Que, which we call “Shabbabaque”  (click on the flyer to jump to online registration) (click here for a printable flyer).

Shabbabaque starts with an outdoor service in the TAS amphitheatre at 6:15pm, featuring music from our rockin’ TAS House Band. This is followed at 7:15pm by a delicious barbeque dinner.  Meat items will include turkey burgers, beef burgers, and hot dogs.  Vegetarian items will include vegetarian patties, broccoli roasted with garlic, and baked potatoes.  Afterwards, there will be a Zmirot sing-along session, followed by a wonderful Sisterhood oneg. The full menu is at the bottom of the page. Our goal is for everyone to be happy. If you have special dietary needs, please contact us at the email address below.

Religious School, Early Childhood Education Center and Infant Toddler Center Families: We invite you to become part of our family. For the price of an adult Shabbabaque registration, you can bring your entire family. Note: You do need to register the family members, just so we can know how much to order. ONLINE ONLY.

Summer in the San Fernando Valley is hot! But the nights are pleasantly warm, and who wants to spend them worshiping in a stuffy building when one can worship out in nature, under beautiful trees. This desire to be out in nature during the summer is what led to the Shabbabeque, the outdoor summer Shabbat service with a barbeque dinner cooked by the Men of Temple Ahavat Shalom. This is the perfect way to enjoy a summer night with worship, great food, and incredible music.
