KIRUV CAFE - The Meeting Place for Project Inspire
A resource for inspiration, support, training and ideas for everyone doing kiruv
Back In The Saddle Again!
I really owe you all an apology. Due to numerous personal issues, I have been extremely lax in moderating KiruvCafe. One of the reasons among many has been our recent move back to the US from Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel. Dealing with everything has taken a tremendous amount of time. But, with Hashem's help, we are back in the saddle again and ready and rarin' to go!
To kick things off, I am headed to Stamford, CT, for the very first Project Inspire Kiruv Convention. All indications are that this just may be the largest gathering devoted exclusively to kiruv in history. Rumor has it that nearly 700 people will be attending. The excitement is building as kiruv activists from all over the country come together to improve their kiruv skills, get inspired to do more and discuss new ways to reach out to Acheinu Kol Beis Yisrael.
A full report coming next week!
Shabbat Shalom,
Aharon
