  Jan 11 - Sunday Salon

Sunday Salon

10am - Noon • Rabbi Shoni''s home

TAO members are invited to join an intellectual exchange, drawing from the Jewish Calendar, Torah, Myth, Science and The Arts. This is the next step to Reb Shoni''s Women''s Groups and Dr. Lisa''s Rosh Chodesh Group, now open to women and men alike. Each participant is expected to prepare in advance by reading/viewing the required material, which will include selections from literature and the creative arts. No formal teaching will take place, as this forum is one of shared discourse.

Our intention is to create an environment that encourages a substantive, intellectual, creative, inspiring, spiritually-stimulating encounter for all.

Discussion of these issues is open to TAO members.  Call the office.  Limited space available: 954-252-1313

  President's Message

Dear Friend;

It is with great delight that I begin my tenure as President of this remarkable community. It is not a stretch to say that my life has been radically transformed by my experiences with Rabbi Marc and TAO.
