RCS: A Work of Heart - Register Now!


Dear Friends,

Now more than ever we all want to do something, anything for our Jewish brothers and sisters in the Land of Israel and for that matter all over the world! Strengthening our relationship to Hashem via prayer is a conduit for blessings not only to ourselves and families but for all of the Jewish people.


Our new Rosh Chodesh Society course, "A Work of Heart," speaks to our souls and opens a whole new world of meaning percolating beneath the surface of Jewish prayer. Whether you pray daily or hardly ever at all, this course will offer new perspectives as we explore some exquisite prayers that have stood the test of time.


Please join us for a delicious dinner with fabulous women plus textbook learning(in English) for beginners and experts alike.


Looking forward to seeing you,


Warmly,

Devorah
