Adath Israel Reformats its Famous Thursday Night Chaburah

Elizabeth—For the past nine years, members of Congregation Adath Israel in Elizabeth/Hillside have been enjoying the weekly Thursday night Chulent Chaburah, a program that quite literally provides both spiritual and physical nourishment. Participants engage one another in discussion of a topic in Halacha, Hashkafa or Parsha, then partake in a chulent prepared by a rotation of shul members.

Recently, the shul’s Rav, Rabbi Jonathan Schwartz decided to expand the group of Magidei Shiur beyond the members of the shul, and the resulting new format will feature local and world-renown Torah talent to complement the rotation of shul members.

On 2/26, Rabbi Mitchell Bomrind, Head of Kashrus Division, NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, will speak on “The Halachic Mind of Rav Moshe Feinstein: A Family Member Remembers.” On 3/12, Rabbi Peretz Hochbaum, Menahel at RTMA, will present on “Pesach: The Critical Message of Chinuch.” Finally, on 3/19, Rav Zev Wolbe, Rebbe at Mesivta of North Jersey and author of the Shiurei Rav Shlomo Wolbe on Chumash, will give a Shiur entitled “Rav Shlomo Wolbe Approaches Pesach.”

The Chaburah is open to the public at large and takes place Thursday evenings at 8:30 pm in Congregation Adath Israel, 1391 North Ave., Elizabeth. Past Chaburos, as well as hundreds of other Shiurim and Divrei Torah, are archived on the shul’s website www.adathisraelshul.org in the Rabbi’s Study section.

Congregation Adath Israel is an Orthodox synagogue proudly serving the Jewish community of North Elizabeth and Hillside for 60 years. With a lineup of daily Minyanim, Shiurim, programming for both youth and adults, all of which rival the programming of a many times its size, Adath Israel plays a central role within the entire community.
