- It has been brought to our attention that on the Agudath Israel calendar for 5780 (2019-2020), indicates that the next cycle of Pirkei Avos begins on Shabbos, 7 Sivan/May 30. However, as this is the second day of Shavuos, Pirkei Avos is not said on that Shabbos. Therefore, please mark your calendar with the updated corrected schedule of Pirkei Avos, found below, for the remainder of 5780.

Tonight, May 21st, at 9:00 PM EDT, noted psychologist Dr. David Pelcovitz will present a unique webinar addressing the concerns of parents of children with special needs. Dr. Pelcovitz will address the unique situation such families face, and will talk about easing the stress on the family. Mrs. Leah Steinberg, director of Project LEARN, explained that, "the complexities of parenting during "shelter in place" is exacerbated for parents attempting to juggle the needs of typically developing children together with those with special needs." She said, as well, that, due to every parent's individual experience, the program will end with an extensive Q&A session. In order to maintain confidentiality, all question will need to be submitted prior to the event. | | Pirchei Pirkei Avos Program | | Pirchei Agudas Yisroel is proud to announce a brand new Pirkei Avos program.
