Dear Friends, I
thank all of you who have already made your 2020
donations to The Schechter Institutes. For those of
you who have not yet done so, there is still time! I
thank you in advance for your crucial support. To donate please
click HERE. Even in this most difficult year of Corona, the students, faculty and staff at Schechter have proven that “something good can come out of something bad.” With these thoughts, I invite you to watch a very brief video update on Schechter activities in 2020 which I have prepared for you
I’d also like to share with you The Schechter Institutes Annual Report for 2019-2020 and to invite you to join our “Zooming into Hanukkah Study" that will take place on Sunday, December 13, 2020 With
Hanukkah quickly approaching, I have attached a few
of my responsa and articles on the laws and customs
of the holiday which I hope you’ll find useful: · Why do we give Hanukkah gelt and Hanukkah presents? (OH 670 in Magen Avraham) ·
Why
do we light Hanukkah candles in the synagogue?
(OH 671:7) ·
Were
the Maccabees Religious Extremists? ·
A
Hidden Lesson of the Hanukkah Story ·
Hanukkah
Exotica: On the Origin and Development of Some
Hanukkah Customs · Why Don't We Read a Scroll on Hanukkah?
Thank
you again and Happy Hanukkah from Jerusalem. |
