Tanach Shiurim in Jerusalem

Congregation "Masuat Shalom" is a young community in Yerushalayim, with about eighty families. After recently constructing the Beit Kenesset, the community has set itself the aim of opening itself as a center of Torah and prayer to the general public in the neighborhood.

In order to work towards this goal, the community has initiated regular Tanach Shiurim that are open to the observant and non-observant members of the vicinity.

Under the leadership alumnus Hagai Bartov (מחזור י"ז) and in partnership with CTL, the community has already hosted Shiurim by numerous members of staff from Yeshivat Har Etzion and Herzog College, attracting observant and non-observant neighbors alike.

Setting out his goals, Hagai Bartov stated, "We hope that learning Torah in this format will bring diverse members of our community together and we hope that will be an example other communities in the country."

Chaburot in Columbia University

CTL is particularly pleased to support monthly Chaburot in Columbia University, coordinated by Ariel Cohen '05H, a former Shana Aleph Madrich, now on Shlichut in the US.

Apart from enjoying the pizza and refreshments, the Chaburot provide a fantastic opportunity for alumni to maintain and strengthen their kesher with each other, their relationship with the Yeshiva and their commitment to in-depth learning.

The first Chaburot were given by Joshua Botwinick and Ariel Cohen. They were followed by Aminadav Grossman and Pinchas Dashevsky and most recently by Gabe Falk and Benjamin Weinreich.

As Ariel explained, "This is an excellent opportunity for the Chevra to both learn and teach, as well as form a well-connected group outside Yeshiva".
