Majoring in good deeds - Listening 101 a required course at Sh'ma U

B'nai Shalom of Olney became a one-stop-shop of Jewish learning, good deeds and loving-kindness Sunday morning as the shul underwent its annual transformation into Sh'ma University, a multifaceted program that attracted more than 250 participants.

Delivering the event's opening remarks, California-based author and rabbi, Naomi Levy, one of Newsweek's 50 most influential rabbis, said: "The most important part of what sh'ma means is that we have to listen and pay attention and understand that God has a job for us ... to be God's helper [and] make this world a better place."
