Rav Chagai's Shabbat Morning Shiur Returns

Deepen your understanding of the parsha before you sit down to lunch! Starting this week Rav Chagai is giving a shiur after musaf on the Netziv's commentary on the parsha, Ha'amek Davar. The Netziv takes the parsha much deeper than pshat, and Rav Chagai's inimitable style connects the Netziv to issues of our day.

Parent Children Learning

Parent and children learning on Saturday night is back! We will meet 45 minutes after Shabbat ends in the shul. There will be prizes and riddles. Avi & Rami look forward to seeing you.
