Shabbat Meals

Out of the 13 Shabbats that I spent with Rabbi Holtzberg in the Spring of 2005, it didn't matter if there was a small group or a few dozen at a Shabbat meal- every time he always made it a point for every single person to introduce themselves and share something uplifting with the group. He gave us all a choice between sharing a story, a song, or making a commitment to do a good deed (and sharing what that was with the group). Visitors ranged from honeymooners, back-packers, volunteers, educators, and business men.
