Shabbat Table Idea for 6 Weeks


Consider two the following suggestions to enhance the spirit at our Shabbat table as we prepare for the holiday of Shavuot.
1. Study a Chapter of Ethics of Our Fathers. This week we study Chapter 1. Here is a link Chabad.org and some trigger questions for discussion.  (I will address these queries at Seudah Shlishit).
a) Mishna 1 -  How is this mishna applicable to people who are not judges nor teachers of Torah?
b) Mishna 12  - Can we students of people who lived thousands of years ago? How? Think of a teacher in your life and shar how they influenced
you.
2. Sign Up for Text Message Responsa with Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, one of the highlights of our Shabbat meals.
