In this in-person class at the Shiviti Bet Midrash of New York, we explore the question of "Are We Any Different?" and tackle the difficult topic of "The Spiritual Considerations of Jewish Warfare".

This class is dedicated to the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.

Kehillat Shaar HaShamayim is excited to welcome Rabbi Yosef Zarnighian of Kahal Kadosh Mikveh Israel and the Shiviti Bet Din, visiting us from Philadelphia.

Rabbi Yosef will be gracing us with a Devar Torah during Shabbat Dinner, an exciting Shiur during Kiddush Lunch, and joining our weekly Q&A during Seudah Shelishit.

Please join us for this exciting Shabbat!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Rabbi Yonatan and Rabbanit Devorah Halevy

Shalom!

Join us as we delve into some of the most sensitive and profound details of Jewish national law, and explore how our lawmakers approached the most controversial and relevant social justice issues of our time. Text-based and ongoing, this course will offer an inside view of the legal system that provides the basis for our national vision of a just and truly free society.

This course will largely be based on the Rambam’s Laws of Sanhedrin, with a special focus on the commentary of Rabbi Chaim David Halevy, former Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv-Yafo.
