These ethical principles underscore the development of a sacred, inviting and healthy organization. The curriculum will consist of the three dimensions: Shabbat Divrei Torah in shul for adult and youth, home based discussion material, and an interactive workshop on Shabbat afternoon. The three themes will be: 1. Shabbat, July 14th - Greet Everyone with a Smile 2. Shabbat, Jul 21st - Speaking Positively 3. Shabbat, July 28th - Judging People Favorably The Core Values program will be launched on Sunday morning, July 8th at Agudath Sholom, the fast of the 17th of Tamuz at a symposium at 9:15 - 10:00 AM dedicated to the themes. The program is open to the entire community and a wonderful way to harness the spirit of the three weeks to develop Jewish community and nurture personal development. ________________________________________________ Congregation Agudath Sholom Annual Meeting 301 Strawberry Hill Avenue Wednesday June 27, 2012 6:30 - 8:15 pm Please join us for our annual meeting and election of new officers.
