(Courtesy of Bris Avrohom) The Lubavitcher Rebbe advised to hold gatherings where speeches on topics related to the time of year are delivered and discussed. Adhering to this, a kinnus Torah was held at Kollel Levi Yitzchok in Elizabeth. The topics were varied and fascinating and included, the concept of Pesach Sheini and whether it is considered a new holiday or an extension of Pesach; the question of learning secular studies and to what degree was pondered; and the law of not eating a new fruit for the first three years was explained. The speakers at the kinnus Torah were Rabbi Berel Lavner, Rabbi Zalman Wisnefsky and Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky. The crowd listened intently as each speaker explored each topic.

Kollel Levi Yitzchok is a project of Bris Avrohom, where men gather on Thursday evenings to sit and learn and enjoy light refreshments. For more information about Kollel Levi Yitzchok and other projects of Bris Avrohom, contact (908) 289-0770 or visit the website at www.brisavrohom.org.
