Dearest friends and members,

As Devorah and I journey our homeland - for the first time with all our children, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude to Hashem. It is with that in mind that our hearts overflow with love how you have been so good to us and this beautiful community we call home!

We would like to give back in the form of praying for you and yours at various holy spots around Israel.

(Also, since we have been asked many times to bring Tzedakah to those who need or for other Mitzvah purposes, we have added that option to our form. It is just that - optional!)

May HaKadosh Baruch Hu answer all your Tefillot and may you pray for us to return rejuvenated and ready for an incredible new calendar year, full of productivity and growth together with all of our friends in our beautiful community, Amen!

With so much love and so many blessings,
Rabbi Yonatan Halevy

The lecture on “Rabbinic Autonomy” will be written up and shared in the coming days in both Hebrew and English, b’ezrat Hashem.

RAMBAM ORDERS

Just a reminder that we will begin a new series studying the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah with HaRav Kapach’s commentary every Monday and Tuesday from 8:30-9:00pm.

Any other versions of Mishneh Torah you have will NOT match the text we will be using together. Therefore, we are placing order of books from Rav Kapach’s institute. The books are $45 each, and include air mail shopping from Israel.

Unless you have paid Marlene already, we don’t have your name on the list of orders. Please send an email to info@shiviti.org to put your name on the last and you can remit payment to Marlene at our next Kollel class.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Down With Double Standards
"How would you feel if a good friend, a seemingly religious Jew – wears a Kippah and Tzitzit, prays every day, eats Kosher food, observes the Shabbat, is always kind to others – sent you an invitation to his daughters wedding? You would certainly be happy and grateful, would you not?
Would your reaction be different if it contained a message missionizing you to another faith?..."
