Hi Everyone~~

Join us for our next Jewish University of Scottsdale Meetup on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015, from 7:00-8:30pm, at the Jewish Community Center of Scottsdale, Room 216-217, 12701 N. Scottsdale Road.

Rabbi Pinchas Allouche will present:

“The Secret to Happiness”

In an age when depression and melancholy have become so rampant, happiness has become the craving for millions of people. How do I become a happy person? How do I sustain a happiness mindset in the face of daily challenges? How do I make sure my children are happy?

Rabbi Allouche will speak for 1 hour with  Q and A. Kosher refreshments will be served.

The goal of our Meetup group is to create and connect a very engaged, vibrant community, while enriching our individual spiritual lives. We warmly welcome you, whether you are a member of any congregation or are unaffiliated. This is great place to meet new people, make some new friends, and find support in our community!

The cost for this event is $10.00, payable at the door. Please bring a photo ID for entrance to the Jewish Community Center.
