6:00pm Dinner • 7:00pm Lecture
Congregation Kol Ami + Online
The topic of this session will be the forthcoming book, The Shabbat Effect. The point of the book is to outline how observing Shabbat with an intention to develop certain inner traits that are germane to a Shabbat practice will prove useful all seven days of the week, and is a step toward the ultimate human purpose of becoming whole and holy.
Join us beforehand for a complimentary light dinner at 6:00pm, followed by the lecture at 7:00pm.
