Around the Shabbat Table Campaign

Elevating the People and the World Around You!

The Shabbat meal is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our families, community and connection to G-d. The Around the Shabbat Table Campaign encourages each family to include three elements at their meal:

1. Share a Torah Insight 2. Sing a Jewish Song

3. Refrain from Gossip-Celebrate Positive Speech

Suggested Torah topic for your Shabbat table:

Why do people of vision often provoke reactions of scoffing & sarcasm? Do you know anyone who has overcome the skepticism or derision of others to pursue a dream?

Celebrate a special occasion by sponsoring a Kiddush.

Many dates are available in the near future.
