As we move through Elul and look toward a new year, we think about what will help guide us forward.
A value. A purpose. A part of ourselves we want to listen to more closely.
What will be your guiding star in the coming year?
This evening at OST:
Mindfulness Group - 5:00 pm
Judaica Shop - 6:00 pm
Shabbat Service - 6:30 pm
May this Shabbat offer a quiet moment to consider where you are headed and what you want to guide you along the way.
Shabbat Shalom.
