Torah On Tuesdays for Women.

TORAH TEFILAH AND TOGETHERNESS ON TUESDAYS.

Please join us at 11 am, Amit Yagoubi is giving a class based on a book Orchos Tzadikim- The ways of the Rightous.

Originally published in Yiddish, Orchos Tzadikim (The paths of the Righteous) has become one of the more famously learned seferim on self-improvement and mussar. Although the book was anonymously published, it’s structured and easy to follow formulas have inspired many to reach the potential that Hashem intended them to. As with most mussar and self-improvement works, little that we don’t already know is presented. However, the routine of life often traps us to forget and disregard precisely the common knowledge that would do us so good to remember. Join us as we learn about different character traits from pride, anger, envy, and finally culminating in fear of heaven. As we work on ourselves, we will change the world.

At 12:15 pm we  have a lunch and learn program with a video broadcast from Shira Smiles (the video starts at about 12:45).  Anyone wishing

to sponsor in honor or in memory of a loved one, please contact the Shul office. The cost for these programs will be as follows: $10 Amit Yagoubi, $15 Lunch and Learn.

Torah, Tefilah and Togetherness on Tuesdays

In His infinite wisdom, G-d created a universe and provided us with a blueprint for our lives, yet holiness and G-dliness lie below the surface, sometimes making it difficult to observe all of His commandments. Women were created with an innate spirituality that enables them serve as an inspiration to their families and to our community. We would like to invite you to join us on a journey to discover and develop this spiritual potential by participating in a new program for women at Great Neck Synagogue called Torah, Tefilah and Togetherness on Tuesday.

Starting at 11 am, Amit Yagoubi, an amazing young woman from our community who has taught in Israel and the United States will be giving a class based on a book written by Rav Shimshon Dovid Pincus called the Gates of Prayer. This class will help us understand that Tefilla is our gift from Hashem, how to access a higher form of prayer and pray in a manner that will bring our prayers closer to Hashem.

At 12:30 pm we will have a lunch and learn program with a video broadcast from Shira Smiles, a graduate of Stern College and the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education, who currently teaches at the Darchei Bina Seminary, and who is a world renown speaker and teacher.

You may attend one class or two classes .  All classes will meet at Great Neck Synagogue in the Weinstein Torah and Technology Center.

The cost for these programs will be as follows:

• $10 Amit Yagoubi

• $15 Lunch and Learn

Torah, Tefilah and Togetherness on Tuesday begins October 27. Come and give it a try and make Tuesday your springboard for spiritual growth throughout the week. Please RSVP to the Great Neck Synagogue office at 516-487-6100. This first class will be dedicated to the memory of Helene Gersten, z”l.
