After Shabbat morning services (about noon), Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi will lead a Lunch and Learn discussion on "Tikkun Olam -- Repairing the World". In the second half of the Alenu, we hope for the day when we will be able "to perfect the world under God's sovereignty: l'takken olam b'malkhut Shaddai". The phrase is from the Mishna. What does it mean? What are we expected to do, exactly? Are the activities it entails sufficient to fulfill our obligations as Jews? Ta sh'ma -- come and hear and discuss.

Occoquan Cleanup
Sunday, Jun 3rd 9:30a to 11:30a
We will be Canoeing, Kayaking and Paddle Boarding (if available) around the Occoquan. Our leader is Dann Sklarew, Sustainability leader at George Mason University. As we paddle around, Dann will teach us about the ecology of the Occoquan. Along the way we will have an opportunity to have a positive impact on the ecology as we pick up trash along the shore. This way we are leaving the Occoquan a better place than we found it. It would be a good idea to bring your yard gloves for trash pickup or trash grabbers since the park will not be providing any. *Cost for renting the boats will be determined by the number of people attending * RSVP or any questions contact David Berkowitz berko@cox.net After our morning adventure on the Occoquan join us for Pizzas/Subs at Squisito (8971 Ox Rd Lorton, Va)
