(Courtesy of Lamdeinu) Lamdeinu began its Elul High Holiday program on Tuesday, September 1, and students were delighted to reunite with their friends and chevrutas as well as to meet new participants.
Lamdeinu’s mission is to give adult learners the opportunity to “study Torah in depth and be inspired” as well as to create deep and lasting friendships over their Torah study. At Lamdeinu, your teachers are your chevrutot and your chevrutot are your friends. Lamdeinu offers classes every Monday through Thursday throughout the year on topics such as Tanakch, Parshanut HaMikra, themes of the holidays, Halacha, Talmud, Parshat HaShavua as well as numerous special offerings. Their Elul semester places a special focus on the Yamim Noraim and Sukkot.
On Mondays at 10:15 a.m., starting September 14, Dean Rachel Friedman will lead her signature Parshanut HaMikra shiur for women. The class will focus on sefer Bereishit and will include guided chavruta preparation as well as a lively shiur and class discussion.
