*A note on cost and accessibility:  As trans, queer, and allied Jews, we know the real cost when our communities leave some members on the outside.  In the spirit of inclusion and justice, the PTHC Jewish Working Group is committed to ensuring financially accessible community spaces for all of us, and to our Shabbat dinner being open to everyone who wishes to participate, regardless of financial means.  The cost of Shabbat dinner is $12 per person. If you are in a position to do so, we encouarge you to consider giving more than the cost of your meal.  Your generosity will help ensure that we are able to continue the tradition of an open, inclusive, celebratory PTHC Shabbat.
