Rabbi Joshua Neely of Temple Israel will continue his series, "Conversations with the Rabbi," on Sunday, Jan. 25, 4 p.m., at Brown's New York Deli in Maitland. This month's topic is Jewish Criminals-Shame, Ignore or Defend?

"Conversations" is a monthly program that gives community members a chance to meet and talk with Rabbi Neely in an intimate group setting. The uniqueness of this program is that it is always held outside of the synagogue, usually at a restaurant or bookstore (this month at Brown's New York Deli). This kind of atmosphere is laid back and very informal. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. No RSVP is necessary and there is no charge.

Brown's Deli is located at the corner of 17-92 and Lake Avenue (156 Lake Avenue, Maitland 32751). For more information about this event and future "Conversations," please call the synagogue office at 407-647-3055 or visit us at http://www.tiflorida.org.
