2 SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA AND CANADA and You! The National Jewish Outreach Program is pleased to present the 15th annual SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA AND CANADA on Friday night, March 4, SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA AND CANADA (SAA/C) is the acclaimed international program that offers every North American Jew a positive and joyous experience, underscoring both the unity of our people and a whole-hearted commitment to Ahavat Yisrael! The social media advertising campaign of SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA AND CANADA is designed to serve as a most effective tool for both outreach and inreach. You will have access to NJOP s Social Media Coordinator, who will supply free training and assistance in utilizing social media websites to find and invite your own membership, as well as unaffiliated members of your local Jewish community, to your synagogue or Jewish organization for this event. NJOP will make available to your synagogue or Jewish organization all the materials that you will need to welcome newcomers into your congregation/organization and to introduce both unaffiliated local Jews and your own inactive marginally-affiliated members to the beauty of. An exhilarating evening is created by transforming an ordinary Friday night dinner into the extraordinary SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA AND CANADA experience. NJOP provides an easy-to-use outline for a stimulating explanatory service and engaging educational materials to be used throughout the evening.
