The creative Eco-Menorah project will enhance this year’s celebration. Each Learning Circle will build a uniquely designed menorah to reflect the theme of preserving the environment and saving energy to be presented and lit at the party.
Now, what does Hanukkah have to do with the environment, you may ask? Just like in the Hanukkah miracle story - “a one-day flask of lamp-oil magically burned for eight days” – so too we can and must use “oil” (or any energy source) efficiently so we get much more production out of much less fuel for the preservation of the planet.
Jewish tradition charges us to be the “guardians” of the earth. Waste and destruction are clear prohibitions according to Jewish law, thus we are emphasizing the theme in relation to Hanukkah this year.
Finally, we are now gathering the organizing team and volunteers.
Needed are:
1. A raffle coordinator
2. A flyer maker and distributors
3. A Shopper for latkes and donuts
4. Set up/clean up people
Your help would be so much appreciated.
Please let us know which of the above jobs are calling to you.
We look forward to seeing you at the party.

Study TALMUD…THE JEWISH “RUBIK’S CUBE”, at your Office
December 30th, 2010
INTRODUCTION:
Today’s world and workplace is complex, stressful and often illogical. We, the employees often worry about job retention, relationships, making ends meet, stresses that may compromise our ability to get along in harmony with coworkers and minimize our productivity. We all know that the happier a workplace is……. a more productive workplace we will have.
Sometimes, all an employee needs is a boost to refresh and sharpen his or her mind as well as unburden his or her heart. Interactive engagement in good old-fashioned logic and creative thinking does just that. A break during the workday for fun and intellectual stimulation is known to uplift the thinking worker’s spirit and reduce his or her level of workplace stress.
The proposition? It doesn’t get any more logical than this! A course series titled: The Talmud – The Jewish Rubik’s Cube with master Talmud teacher Rabbi Efraim Baer.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS/LOGISTICS
You must enjoy logic and creative thinking! This class is a learning laboratory. Employees’ participation is vital to the process making it fun and stimulating!
A one hour “lunch and study” session (BYOB…..bring your own bag….for lunch) over a period of either six or ten weeks will take place on the company’s premise.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Talmud, an anthology of hair-splitting debates among ancient scholars, is the basis for legal, philosophical, and ethical thinking in Judaism and beyond. It’s principles of profound analysis are relevant today as ever and apply to all aspects of human life….. especially…. the workplace.
The course offers a delightful synthesis of logic, creativity and analytical skills as well as exposure to the ancient Rabbis’ depth and wisdom. The employees’ capacity to think sharply and decisively is bound to improve by the end of this learning experience! The study of the Talmud, the Jewish “Rubik’s Cube”, will enhance logical decision-making related to work projects, ethical issues, relationships and much more.
WHAT WILL THE EMPLOYEE GAIN?
Participants will develop a working vocabulary of the most common analytical terms and conceptual constructs used in Talmudic debates. Employees will learn how to anticipate the logical next step in the flow of a text. They will learn how to breakdown complicated discussions into their component parts and search for the appropriate questions to ask at each step. The art of framing a fitting question at any given moment is the key to expediently resolving presented challenges, whether in a Talmudic text or in life itself. Participants will be inspired as they gain the tools for unraveling initially complex mental challenges. Employees will walk away from each session feeling intellectually stimulated and mentally energized, refreshed for the remainder of the workday. Additionally, they will gain analytical and assessment skills transferable to real life workplace challenges.
OUR INSTRUCTOR:
Rabbi Ephraim Baer has been offering expert Jewish education to adults and children for over 25 years. During the past 12 years he has taught at Yeshiva Ohr Samayach in Monsey, NY where he introduced his highly innovative and very successful Talmud-skills-for-beginners program.
Over the past decade Rabbi Baer has been giving a weekly Talmud skills class for beginners in Manhattan, Fairlawn, NJ, White Plains, NY and Passaic, NJ. Rabbi Baer has also taught for over 20 years at Jewish day schools in Virginia Beach, VA, Edison, NJ and Monsey, NY. Rabbi Baer is a master teacher and the author of a CD series on Jewish classical texts.

6 one hour sessions (Materials included) $2940
