CACTUS KALLAH: ABUNDANCE AND JOY
Come acknowledge a sacred gathering l'shem shamayim, for the sake of heaven. We will learn how to use our power and our universe to make it the center of our focus. And so, we chose to concentrate on “Abundance and Joy.”
The annual Cactus Kallah invites Rabbis and Jewish educators to Tucson to teach others how to use mental and physical skills to welcome that “Abundance and Joy” we hope to bring into our lives.
These Rabbis and Jewish educators are teaching classes January 20th–24th at the Windmill Suites at Campbell and River.
