Dear Members and Friends of Congregation Toras Chaim,
This coming shabbos we have the privilege of hosting Rabbi Yerachmiel Fried, the Rosh Kollel of DATA, who has graciously agreed to join us for a shabbaton. He will be presenting a number of very interesting lectures which should prove to be an inspiration for our community.
The theme of our shabbaton is The Days of Sefira: Preparing for Receiving the Torah. Talks will include:
- Shabbos morning after kiddush — The 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel: What Does It Really Mean For Us?
- Shabbos afternoon one hour before mincha – The Need for the Second Day of Shavuos: A Halachic and Philosophical Perspective into the Meaning of Yom Tov and the Thinking of Our Sages
- Shalosh Seudos — Lag B’Omer: Its Real Mystical Significance
While there is no charge for the shabbaton I would like to ask each of you to consider participating with a donation in order to make our kiddush extra special. Please contact me if you are able to help @ 903-918-9650.
Kol tuv,
Shalom Abrams, President
Congregation Toras Chaim
