On Sunday, November 4, the women were treated to the second annual Spa for Body and Soul. Even before starting time, the women swarmed in. From registration with coffee and refreshments, to workshops on nutrition, exercise and self-defense to a phenominal keynote address by Rivkah Slonim on "A Candid Look at Love and Intimacy", to delicious lunch buffet by Sara Eller and crew, to exciting pampering stations, it was truly a physical and spiritual retreat.
