Visit to San Diego, USA (jan/feb 2010)

Dear friends,
 
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Jonathan and Shirra Moch to San Diego. Jonathan will be presenting a series of lectures, BEGINNING THIS FRIDAY, dedicated to the memory of his dear uncle, Wolfie Moch.
 
His trip to San Diego is cosponsored by the Maimonides Society of Adat Yeshurun and the Agency for Jewish Education and has been generously supported by Moch family.
 
Dr. Moch is a psychiatrist and the Director of Stress Related Diseases at Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg . He has been in private practice since 1991 he is also Director of the FOTEOR Program: From Ordinary To Extraordinary Retirement. He consults for a host of organizations including Ernest and Young, Standard Bank and the Red Cross.
 
He has several published articles in academic journals and has presented papers as far afield as Australia.He is the author for two books: A Brief Exploration of Being Human (2001) and The Colours of Apples (2006)
   
Jonathan is a learned Jew and has spent years starting part-time at the various Johannesburg Yeshivot and privately with a number of rabbis. He comes to us with the recommendation of Rabbi Kurstag; the Johannesburg Av Beit Din, Rabbi Goldfein; Rosh Yeshivah Gedolah and Rabbi Akiva Tatz. He is an inspiring and sought after speaker locally in JHB and around South Africa as well as abroad; having spoken multiple times for JLE in London.
    
Please help make his visit a tremendous success by attending and bringing your friends and family to the lectures,which are all free, (except the one which is part of Yom Limmud)
 
In so doing you will also honour the memory of our “landsleit” Wolfie Moch, who loved and supported Jewish learning, Community and YiddishKeit.
