Fall harvest is here and with it comes the 33rd annual Jewish Food Faire at Congregation Beth Shalom in Carmichael.  On Sunday September 26th, at 4746 El Camino Avenue you can join the fun, fablulous feasting and festivities (please pardon the alliteration).  This year David Sax who wrote Save The Deli inspired the event which will feature treats from Canter's Deli in LA, Katz's Deli in NYC and Saul's Deli in Berkeley.  Along with that many homemade goodies can be purchased (and preordered if you go to the Congregation Beth Shalom's website, cbshalom.org), breakfast and lunch  will be served.  The festivities include live music and entertainment throughout the day, arts and crafts vendors

A central organization was established to do the ordering and financial transactions.  Along with Rabbi David, the central organization includes  Steve Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer, who is retired from HP with 28 years of experience in globa
