On Shabbat, March 14, 2015 at 4:00 pm, two Teaneck area synagogues, Congregation Rinat Yisrael and Congregation Beth Sholom, will jointly hold a pre-Pesach Community Beit Midrash. The event will take place at Cong. Rinat Yisrael, 389 West Englewood Avenue, Teaneck, NJ.

This unique partnership will bring together members from each synagogue for a Torah study program in which participants will engage in small groups to study a number of Jewish texts related to the overarching theme of “How Jews Relate to our Enemies”. Texts will include the Haggadah, passages from the Talmud, midrashim and modern commentaries. The materials will be available in their original language as well as in English translation, enabling participants at all levels of Jewish knowledge and familiarity with classical sources to take an active part.

Rabbi Yosef Adler of Rinat Yisrael and Rabbi Joel Pitkowsky of Beth Sholom will conclude the program with presentations to the assembled. Planned collaboratively by a committee with representatives from both shuls’ Adult Education Committees, the program is offered at no charge to the community and members from other synagogues are also welcome to attend. Prior registration is required so that appropriate groupings can be arranged in advance. Please follow this link tinyurl.com/March14BeitMidrash
