When the Torah was given, Moses was instructed to first teach it to the women, recognizing the central role that women play in both family life as well as in society.
When you are talking about setting the tone for the future of the nation, Jewish life and values, rising to the task of making this world a better place, it's the women. If you want to ensure the long term success of leading a more spiritual life, a life of Higher consciousness, of making this world a veritable home for Hashem, th
e women are uniquely capable of spearheading the effort. The rest of the nation will follow their strong example.
This weekend, Devorah is joining 3,000 Chabad women, all leaders of Jewish communities around the globe, for the annual convention known as the Kinus. They will share, inspire, and rejuvenate before heading back to their respective communities to continue impacting hundreds and thousands.
So as I am attempting to maintain some semblance of order in the house this weekend - no small feat - I celebrate all of the amazing work that Devorah does both at home and in the community and am grateful that she'll be back at the helm anchoring us and keeping the ship headed in the right direction.
If you want to see an incredible display of global Jewish women's leadership, tune in live to the grand banquet of the convention on Sunday at 2:30pm www.JewishPetaluma.com/Kinus
Talking of incredible women who change destiny, we are so excited to be hosting Marthe Cohn on Feb. 5th. She overcame all odds, spied on the Nazis gaining crucial information on their troops' movements. At the age of 98, she travels the world sharing her story, and we are fortunate to have her coming to Petaluma. Only 50 seats left! www.JewishPetaluma.com/Remember
