Jewish "Truth or Myth" in Brighton Beach


Women and Teens from the Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach area joined for a unique lecture and discussion titled "Truth or Myth" at the Chabad Neshama Center.

The guest lecturer Mrs. Rishe Deitsch eloquently explained and debunked the many myths that surround our many interesting traditions Jewish law and Jewish customs.
"There are many customs that are shrouded with myths of how and why a Mitzvah is done a certain way that it's become misinterpreted, its therefore important for us to explain the real reason behind the mitzvah that it should be meaningful and inspirational," said Shula Winner – co Director of Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach.

"If only I would have heard these reasons and explanations years ago… It makes so much sense," said Mrs Cohen to Reb. Esther Winner - co Director of Chabad Lubavitch of W Brighton Beach. “We appreciate all that you do for the community, we love coming.”

Many of the girl teens from the Chabad Neshama Teen Group joined this discussion and stayed late into the night with their many questions.

Following the theme of the night of black and white – true or false, the women and teens enjoyed light refreshments all with the black and white colors.
