Enjoyed a warm visit outside of Congregation Emanu El in Redlands, CA! More than the temperature of the sunny parking lot, the warmth of friendship and meaningful conversation made this a very special visit!

Chai Mitzvah Mussar booklet #4, Spiritual Friendship/Chevruta, explores the importance of the friendship that grows from meaningful text-based conversation. 

From the Booklet: How does one acquire a friend? By eating together, drinking together, reading together, studying together…and revealing one’s secrets: both Torah secrets and everyday secrets. Avot d’ Rabbi Natan 8
