SHABBAT SCHEDULE

We will continue meeting in our temporary Bet Knesset location for Shabbat. All members and regulars are invited to attend. 

Join us for Shabbat Tefillah with Torah reading! Kiddush Lunch is missing a sponsor. Kindly reply to this email to sponsor it.

Our summer classes continue this Shabbat at 6:00pm! Source material will be provided if relevant.

Join us for the Mincha followed by Seudah Shelishit. Seudah Shelishit is generously sponsored by Raphael and Karla Menko, in loving memory of Raphael's grandfather, Meir ben Chayim z'l. May his Neshamah have an Aliyah in Gan Eden, Amen!

Thank you to our generous sponsors from last week!

CLASSES

B'ezrat Hashem, all of our regular classes are scheduled to continue THIS week,  b'ezrat Hashem, aside from Tuesday's UK class and our Thursday Aggadeta class. 

A reminder that the most accurate class information is always sent out using our Google Classroom platform. Please email info@shiviti.org with your request to join.

As part of our effort to rejuvenate the environment we have spent years creating in the Bet Midrash, all classes have returned to in-person learning as they were before COVID. Your assistance is kindly requested in order to revive the unique, in-person learning experience which we have all grown to know. Thank you for your full cooperation!

Wishing you and yours a Shabbat Shalom when it arrives,
Rabbi Yonatan Halevy

Thanks to the hard work of Shiviti’s volunteer audio/video team!

In this week's class, we will continue dispelling the myth that the Rama’s Halachic stances are “more stringent” than those of Maran by gathering dozens of examples where the former deviates from Talmudic Law while the latter upholds it, with a special focus on the permissibility of Rabbanim receiving payment for their services.

This class is part of our newest series “Expanding Horizons: Refreshing Perspectives From Giants of Jewish Thought” at the Shiviti Bet Midrash UK!
