As we feel the sadness of Sarah's passing we also celebrate the life that Sarah lived. She has deeply touched the lived of many. May her memory be an enternal blessing to all of us.

New Class
Next week, we begin a new course you do not want to miss! Acheiving Integrity is a Special Course on Jewish Business Ethics; A 10 Part Journey culled from The Book of Exodus.
The experiences of an enslaved Israelite nation on the path to becoming a free society provides a compelling springboard for the principles and values that define our people. Gain insight and explore the Jewish perspective
on dilemmas in business and workplace ethics. Learn how the Torah makes sense of the mighty dollar, balances Capitalism with compassion and infuses financial life with awareness and meaning.

Thursdays, Lunch @ 12-1:15 pm, evening class @ 8-9 pm.

Chanukah
Chanukah was a blast with events almost every night, and covered widely by the media....

Chanukah on Ice, Houston City Hall, Sugar Land City Hall, the Rockets game and many more....

Our very own Can Menorah project was covered by the Houston Chronicle, Jewish Herald Voice, Chabad.org News and TV Channels 2, 11, 13 and again 13 , 26 & 39.

There is a lot more to catch up on, but, no time!

Have a great one and see you Shabbos!
