Dear Friends,

- The event for close to 40 young professionals on post Holocaust optimism with guest speaker, Sam Spritzer was inspiring and uplifting. Special thanks to our hosts Ethan Melloul and Aaron Friedman! Chabad's Young Adults & Professionals meet every week on Wed. eve for some socializing, networking and a class on contemporary Jewish topics. Join us or spread the word!

- Our current JLI Torah Studies course, "Taming Passion" concludes next week as we conclude the book of Vayikra.
The book of Bamidbar (May 6 Thursday lunch hour and eve classes) will introduce a fascinating course, “Cultivating Sensitivity”. It focuses on nature and ecology aspiring to address and present Torah’s view on one of today’s most pressing issues: The Environment and Going Green. Seize the opportunity to hear what the Torah has to say on this topic! You won't regret it! (See promo below)
Here are some of the questions explored in this upcoming course:
What is the basis of environmental responsibility?
What does Torah say about recycling?
Does Judaism offer solutions for the energy crisis?
Is Global Warming a real threat?
What are ways to inspire eco-friendliness?
Should we pursue innovations that harm the environment?
Are there spiritual means that help the environment?
What is the definition of an environmentally sound society? - Our new website, www.chaabduptown.org is up and running. Comments (on design, dead links, oops, etc) and feedback is greatly appreciated.... :)
