Shabbat Class Series - Please print and bring for Shabbat afternoon class! (Resumes next week)
During the next few Shabbatot, we will be studying Rabbi David Chelouche's (1920-2016) introduction to his Hemdah Genuzah.
Rabbi Chelouche was born in 1920 in Morocco and came to Israel in 1930. His father, Rabbi Yosef Chelouche, served as the Rav of the Moroccan community in Jerusalem.
He learned at Yeshivat Porat Yosef, and later married Rabbanit Dinah, the daughter of Rabbi Meir Vaknin, zt”l, Chief Rabbi of Teveriah.
In the early 1960s, Chief Rabbi Benzion Meir Hai Uziel assigned him to serve as Chief Rabbi of Netanya, a position he held until his passing.
Please print the papers below and bring them to class.
We will continue meeting in our temporary Bet Knesset location for Shabbat.
All members and regulars are invited to attend. This is a reminder that our Kehillah has not yet opened to those who are not members or regulars. We ask that you kindly respect this policy.
