Facilitated by Tom O'Brien and Rabbi Howard Shapiro, this series expanded to four programs for its second season. The series encouraged participants to explore and discuss timely topics in an open, interactive setting, using videos as a jumping off point. Pizza and beverages were served and participants sat at round tables to encourage interaction.
Special thanks to the Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach for the use of their fellowship hall for the program.The series is a membership benefit with free admission to Fellowship members; a small fee is charged to non-members.
