An Evening of Jewish Inspiration

with Rabbi Jonathan Rietti B.ed M.sci

Lecturing on “The Art of Healthy Living”

The Evening of August 10th, 2005 - 8:30 pm

Rabbi Jonathan Rietti - a descendant of the Sephardic leader the Ben Ish Chai and son of the famous British actor Robert Rietti, received his rabbinical diploma from Gateshead Talmudical College, England, after which he helped establish the now flourishing Kollel in Gibraltar. Having received a master's in education, he practiced for eighteen years as an educational consultant to parents of gifted children and those with ADD.  With Montessori training, he has developed a curriculum which dovetails a Torah education with Montessori methodology.

Rabbi Rietti has authored over twenty five lecture albums on topics including inner growth, health, parenting and Jewish identity, and draws upon his background in the film and advertising industries to entertain the listener while sharing powerful insights on love, happiness & ‘emotional intelligence.'

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND A MOVING VIDEO PRESENTATION AND HEAR FROM RABBI MOSHE GOLDSMITH OF ITAMAR

Tuesday, August 3, 2004, 8:30 pm

Congregation Ohr Torah and Rabbi Mordekai Shapiro are proud to host Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith of Itamar, a settlement located in the Shechem region of Israel.  Rabbi Goldsmith grew up in New York and has been living in Itamar since 1986.

Rabbi Goldsmith has made this trip to New York to raise money for a desperately needed security camera system for Itamar.  Itamar has been victimized by terrorist attacks and is in desperate need of completing a security camera system, which has already proven to save the lives of the men, women and children that reside in Itamar.   I am sure most of us have
heard of the Shabo Family massacre where a mother, her three children and the head of the response team were killed by a terrorist.  This occurred at Itamar and Rabbi Goldsmith personally responded to this incident, as well as others.  Rabbi Goldsmith has a moving and inspirational story to tell that we all need to hear.

The entire community is invited to a video presentation, as well as a presentation by Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith.  The presentation will take place as
follows:

Congregation Ohr Torah, 410 Hungry Harbor Road , North Woodmere, New York -In the Gold Room (Rear Entrance) Date:   Tuesday, August 3, 2004 Time:   8:30 pm.  (Mincha and Maariv will begin at 8:00 pm)

There will be no cost for admission but donations will be appreciated. Please make your tax deductible contribution payable to 'Central Fund of Israel' and indicate that it is for 'Itamar Security'.
