Sunday, March 25, 6 pM - The Toronto Heschel School

How Table Talk Works
You are invited to attend one of ten dinner parties in the intimacy of a Heschel family home.
Each dinner will feature a world-class speaker and a four-course gourmet meal. The speakers
will make their presentations during hors d’oeuvres and join the party for continued discussion
during dinner. All ten dinner parties will take place simultaneously on Sunday, March 25
at 6pm and each one will host approximately twelve guests. Please review this invitation
and consider which dinner party you would like to attend.
This year, for those who have scheduling conflicts, we have added one additional
dinner party on Sunday, April 1 at 6pm. Please see page twelve for more details.
As last year’s event sold out early, please fill in your top three dinner preferences on
the enclosed RSVP card and return it to the school office as soon as possible.
Proceeds & Donation Information
Ticket price is $150 per person. As our generous hosts have donated all dinner party costs,
and all the printing and invitation costs have been donated, 100% of funds raised will be
allocated towards purchasing science equipment for students at The Toronto Heschel School.
A tax receipt will be issued for the maximum amount allowable under CRA guidelines.
Table Talk Kashrut Policy
All dinners will be catered by a COR supervised caterer.
A vegetarian option will be available upon request.
