Join us this Wednesday for a Holiday Series class:

THE STORY OF THE THREE WEEKS 

For millennia Jews have observed a summertime three-week mourning period in commemoration of a series of tragic events in our history.

Learn the important story and history of the events remembered during this time, find out how the three weeks are observed, and finally, discover the powerful inspirational message they contain, both for us as individuals and for the Jewish people as a whole. 

Led by Rabbi Yitzchok Schmukler
