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: It is written in the Talmud that Moses ascended the mountain for a second time forty days before Yom Kippur and then descended with the second tablets on Yom Kippur.  What might this symbolize?
 
 
Celebrate a special occasion by  sponsoring a Kiddush.
Many dates are available in the near future.
