COMBINING RECOVERY (Heart) AND SPIRITUALITY (Soul) WITHIN JUDAISM

                                   WEEKLY NEWSLETTER – 12/10/08

Hi Family,

We have had a tremendous positive response to last week's newsletter and to our upcoming Spiritual Day with Rabbi Abe. Registrations have begun to come in and there seems to be a lot of excitement brewing. On top of it all, Glenn K. Audio will again be at the event to record Rabbi Abe as well as sell his tremendous collection of recovery speakers. It's a day not be missed.

1) WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE our fourth Spiritual Day. We are even more pleased and privileged to have Rabbi Abe returning as our keynote speaker.

"A Day of Healing and Spirituality -  An Afternoon with Abe, part II" will take place on Sunday, January 11, 2009 at Congregation Beth David, Lynbrook, NY. Please note the starting time will be at 2:00 PM, with the doors opening at 1:30 PM. There will be a question and answer period after Abe speaks, followed by a group of break out meetings. Refreshments will be served and we will be concluding around 6:00 PM.

Cost for the event is $25 for non-members and at the door. Member's cost is $20.00. Please renew or join for 2009 to receive our newsletters and receive discounts on selected events. All 2008 memberships expire December 31, 2008.

3) Upcoming events in the planning stages:

 

A couple of administrative notes:

1) Please do not reply to the emails if you wish to contact me. The way GMAIL stacks responses it is very difficult to see any 'reply' emails. So, if you need to contact me please email me at arnieg@rodfeishalom.org.

2) I try to get to as many emails as I can. Sometimes however, I only look at my emails every few days. If you don't hear back from me right away, give me a couple of days. If you still don't hear back, please resend. I may not get your emails altogether.

So, that's it for this issue.

Have a great day in recovery,

With love in recovery and fellowship,

Arnie
