NEW YORK

The Rabbanit and I will be heading to New York for two days this week. After many years of thought and many months of planning, with Hashem's help, we are launching the Shiviti Bet Midrash of New York this Tuesday evening! Please join us if you are there! In addition, we will be celebrating our nephew's wedding on Wednesday night. Monday and Thursday classes should continue as planned.

SHABBAT SCHEDULE

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

Friday night Tefillot are getting earlier. This Friday we will meet at 6:45pm.

Join us for Shabbat Tefillah with Torah reading!

Thank you to Rachel Savin for catering this week's Kiddush Lunch.

Our summer classes continue this Shabbat at 5:00pm at the Bet Knesset! This week, we continue the Laws of Mashiach according to the Rambam! Source material will be provided.

It has been more than a year since we announced the launch of our Shiviti podcast which is officially live across the web, featuring our most popular playlists!
Search “Shiviti” or “Rabbi Yonatan Halevy” on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify - and subscribe!

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!
