Rabbi Leo Dee
Faith Under Fire: Emunah Through Personal Challenge, Torah, and Turbulent Times.
Join us for a beautiful and uplifting Friday night experience for the entire family at Congregation Toras Chaim on Friday, May 1, following the 7 PM Friday night services. The evening will begin with a warm and elegant family Shabbos dinner, bringing together community members of all ages.
Following the meal, we will be privileged to hear from Rabbi Leo Dee in a powerful and deeply moving presentation entitled: “Faith Under Fire: Emunah Through Personal Challenge, Torah, and Turbulent Times.”
Drawing from his personal experiences, timeless lessons from the Torah, and the challenges facing the Jewish people in today’s world, Rabbi Dee will share a message of resilience, faith, courage, and hope in the face of adversity and growing uncertainty.
During the lecture, a special children’s program will take place across the street at the Martin family home, providing engaging supervision and activities for the younger members of the community so parents can fully benefit from the evening’s lecture.
After the speech, everyone will reconvene in the shul for a delicious dessert reception, offering an opportunity to continue the evening together with meaningful conversation and an uplifting Shabbos atmosphere.
