A Letter From Rabbi Chaim Sampson, Director, Project Inspire
Thanks for joining us at KIRUV CAFE. KIRUV CAFE is the newest tool in your Project Inspire kiruv kit enabling you to easily communicate and share information with people you are working with. In addition, you can reach out for assistance to others quickly and efficiently be they in your neighborhood or across the country.
Be sure to read the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) by clicking on the two articles in the FAQ box in the left column of this home page. These will bring you up to speed quickly.
Some of the benefits of using KIRUV CAFE are: You can easily set up a private group for people on your committee, join a group of people with similar kiruv interests, read a blog to get ideas and expertise, stay on top of the latest PI news, start your own blog to share your ideas, plans and activities, or just meet others who share your commitment and motivation to reaching out to acheinu kol beis Yisroel.
Got a question? Not sure how to proceed? Someone on Kiruv Cafe will be able to help. Either approach someone directly, post your question to the public ANSWER box for anybody to answer or join a relevant group and ask for their input.
KIRUV CAFE is also the place to share your thoughts, successes and strategies so we can all learn to become more effective at kiruv.
The more we all put into KIRUV CAFE, the more we will all benefit from our collective expertise, shared enthusiasm and vital chizuk.
Looking forward to greeting you here at the KIRUV CAFE!
Rabbi Chaim Sampson
