(Courtesy of PTI) Passaic Torah Institute, a baalei teshuva yeshiva, has launched a new Young Professional Program every Thursday night at 8 p.m. for men in their 20s-30s.

With great zechus from Hakodesh Baruch Hu, we have had a successful month. PTI launched the program in November and has had four consistent weeks consisting of a free buffet, shiurim, guest speakers, and a kumzits every week.

The nights have a special aura to them as about 20 men gather for a sense of spiritual connection, yearning for growth and chevra, networking and Yiddishkeit. They come from Passaic, Clifton, Montclair, Fair Lawn, Teaneck and greater Bergen County.

At the end of the night, a kumzits performance unifies the kedusha, allowing all the YPs to uplift their neshamas with Jewish music.

The program has a packed December month, including a Chanukah bash, special guest speakers and a shabbaton.

Dates include:

12/7: Chanukah bash

12/14: Special guest speaker Harry Rothenburg, Esq (a dynamic Gateways speaker)

12/16: Shabbaton at PTI in Passaic, with free lodging and meal reservations; RSVP required

12/21: Special guest speaker Rabbi Avraham Goldhar (renowned former Aish lecturer) on memorizing the entire Gemara.

There will be opportunities available to sponsor or speak at an event. Location is Passaic Torah Institute, 441 Passaic Ave, Passaic.
