First JCC Lunch and learn with best selling author Yitta Halberstam
THE BOOMERANG EFFECT! What Goes Around Comes Around
A good or benevolent deed doesn’t disappear into a black hole of the spiritual universe. Ultimately, we are repaid, sometimes only moments after the deed was performed, sometimes decades later. In her talk, Yitta Halberstam, co-author of the American bestselling “Small Miracles”series,provides reallife and often amazing accounts of the boomerang effect of good deeds; how coincidences contain within them a sense of symmetry, the “payback” concept” or “what goes around comes around” and startling evidence that Gd does indeed remember. Yitta Halberstam is a coauthor of the “Small Miracles” series and has toured extensively in the United States, speaking to both Jewish and nonJewish groups alike. Kosher and elegantly catered by LMN caterers.
