MEQUON, Wis. - Monday, Aug. 15 is the second day of the two-day Jewish Food Festival at Mequon's Rotary Park.

"We want to share the Jewish message of adding goodness and kindness, bringing more happiness in the world, one more light, making one more smile," said Rabbi Luchins. "Sharing with one more person can make the world a better place."

Proceeds fund the community outreach programs of the Peltz Center for Jewish Life.
