To Those Who Shape Us: A Ten Toasts Dinner
To Those Who Shape Us: A Ten Toasts Dinner
For members of Bethel AME & Temple Israel | Friday, March 21, 2025 | Hosted by Temple Israel
Join fellow travelers from Bethel AME and Temple Israel for a dinner as we regale each other with meaningful conversation and stories in the form of toasts reflecting a theme: “To Those Who Shape Us.”
Here’s how the game works:
Guests will dine in groups of 8-12 fellow travelers (hopefully whom you do not know or know well). At some point in the dinner, each guest is invited to ding their glass and share a brief story or experience that ideally no one at the table has heard before, relating to our theme: A story about a person that shaped the teller, and about a way the teller was changed. At the end of their story, the teller raises their glass and toasts to an element or value their story highlights (ex: to those who taught us resilience!) and invites all others in their group to raise their glasses as well.
The only other rule is that the last person has to sing their toast!
