As the Rav stresses nearly every week, the
shul is not just a place to daven, but a makom Torah. Here is a run
down of the impressive number of ways the shul is attempting to fulfill
that mandate:
Night Seder - Every night between 8:45
and 10:15 (with Ma'ariv before and after) the shul is full of members
fulfilling their nighttime mitvas kevias itim la'Torah.
With more participation, everyone's learning grows stronger. We arrange
for help with chevrusahs and the sefarim you need. COME JOIN and give
chizuk to the olam!
The Beis Tefillah Siyum HaShas - Last
Simchas Torah the Rav announced the idea of making a collective
siyum HaShas, with members of Beis Tefillah each taking about
40 blatt to learn over the year, and making a Siyum HaShas next
(this) year.
Well, WE DID IT!!! R' Mordechai Bernstein, the coordinator, has checked
in with everyone, and we are on target!!! The present plan is to make
the Siyum at a grand Melavah Malkah Motzei Parshas No'ach, when
the signup for next year's siyum will take place. There are a few outstanding
unlearned dafim - those who have joined us during the year (or just
now!) and would like to participate in THIS year's, see Mordechai
Bernstein (night seder in Shul or 999-6597) for details.
The Shulchan Aruch Project -
Under the guidance of Rav Malinowitz, coordinated by Efrayim Rosenbaum,
the Shul has embarked upon learning Hilchos Shabbos ,using the learning
materials of the famous Pirchei Shoshanim Semichah Program. There will
be a certificate given at the end of learning the "curriculum". We have
arranged a minimal cost for Shul members.
Rav Malinowitz gives a "blatt Shiur" on the material every night,
and one of the Magidei Shiurim of the Shul give an iyun Shiur on the
material of that week every Thursday night at 9:10. We do about
2 se'ifim in Shulchan Aruch a week. The materials include the sources,
the development of the halachah, and modern-day sheilos with the rulings
of present poskim. It is all presented in English, as well as being
a resource for the original mar'ei mekomos (which is how it is hoped
it would ideally be used). We have just about finished Siman 318--the
test on it will be given iy"h right after Succos. We are starting
a new inyan/topic after that, so come join us! See Efrayim
Rosenbaum (992-1782) for more details.
