Mah Jongg
We are looking forward to resuming our mah jongg games at Havurah once the building is fully open and we get the ok from the staff, hopefully later in Fall of 2021.
At our first meeting we will get acquainted and settle on a tentative schedule. Experienced players and people new to the game are welcome. If you have questions or would like to be added to the email list, please contact Leah Hershey via the Havurah member directory.
