Guide to Shabbat: Connect and Celebrate.
Bring Your Family Together with the Friday Night Meal
In the 21st century’s jam-packed 24 hour days, how does a modern mom find time to bake a challah,
let alone create a meaningful Shabbat celebration for her entire family? With conversational topics
like “A Little Kabbalah with your Challah” to “Oy, Teens,” Jacobs teaches us how to take advantage
of our 52 chances each year to escape from our ridiculous schedules and to connect as a Jewish family.

7:30 P.M. ...............Wendy Mogel, Ph.D., The Blessing of a Skinned Knee:
Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children
In our fast-paced, competitive and materialistic age, how can we possibly raise self-reliant, respectful,
well-mannered and optimistic children? Clinical psychologist Wendy Mogel distills her rich Jewish
heritage of Torah, Talmud and centuries of commentary, and combines it with contemporary
psychology to help parents find grace and security in our increasingly complex world. With warmth
and humor, Mogel shares ancient and modern Jewish wisdom to help families of all faiths manage the
day-to-day challenges of 21st century parenting.
