Thoughts and upcoming events

Friends,

As we end the calender year, take a moment to think about all the wonderful things that go on in this world, take a breath and breathe them in.
Meditate on all life’s blessings- If you think hard enough, you will find them.
There are so many things which are great and so many things which need to be improved.
Take a new year’s resolution- Here are some ideas where we can help:
- Connect Jewishly
- Volunteer some time to visit a senior citizen in a home, we can help with that
- Study Torah, you can do it on your own- online or at our Tuesday night classes, or you can arrange a 1 on 1 with Rabbi Zvi.
- Celebrate Shabbat more often, We have Dinners twice a month.
- Give Charity –  The Intown Chabad depends completely on local support, please consider making an end of year donation here
- Repair relationships at home
- Light Shabbat Candles
- Lay Tefillin more often
There are so many ways we can improve this world and our selves in 2010!!!
Wishing you a great year!
Zvi
Upcoming at TIC

Tuesday night 8PM-

Topic: Is there anything you really hate?
