It's not too late to make reservation for Chabad's annual women's luncheon and this year we've made it easier than ever with the ability to register online - just a click away! Each year, the women of our community eagerly anticipate Chabad's Annual Women's Luncheon for its perfect combination of fun and enlightenment. This year will exceed these high expectations with workshops and refreshments, a catered lunch, and a musical performance by international singer & composer, Mrs. Rivkah Gutnick.

The highlight of Chabad's annual women's luncheon, to be held on Nov. 12, will be a special talk by our featured guest speaker, Ms. Lauri Zimmet. Following lunch, she will speak about Torah, the Naval Reserves and the Art of Survival. Ms. Zimmet serves in the Naval Reserves and was on active duty in Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In this stirring lecture, Ms. Zimmet will discuss her unique perspective on participating first hand in the liberation of the Iraqi people. She shares details about her role in the war and what steps she took as a Jew to ensure her safety while at the same time conducting a Pesach seder and leading torah discussions. She also tells of her constant communications with her Chabad Rabbi, and a riveting account of her first Shabbat - a clandestine experience of lighting candles and saying kiddush in secret so as to go undetected by the Saudis who surrounded her dwelling.

This elegant event, celebrating the Week of the Jewish Woman, will be held at the Ohr Torah Ballroom, 410 Hungry Harbor Rd, North Woodmere, next Sunday, November 12th, 10:00 am - 2:30 pm. Workshops & Chinese Auction Viewing: 10:00 - 12:00; Luncheon & Concert: 12:30 - 2:30 pm.

Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik
