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!
