DAY 710: What Outreach Looks Like

Dear Hevreh, Over the past few years, our congregation has made some great strides in building the bonds and relationships that form the foundation of our tight knit Jewish Home for the Soul. Yet, as it has often been mentioned, if we're going to continue to thrive then we need to grow as a congregation. If we're going to continue to prosper, then we need to reach out to attract more people to be a part of our congregation. So what does our approach to outreach look like?

T’fillin binds the wearer in a strong connection, constraining distractions and directing thoughts toward God. T’fillin are external reminders of our inner choices of restraint" (Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide, p.75). For other days of the Omer, please click here
