| | Agudath Israel's Daf Yomi Commission Presents a Hilchos Shabbos Halachah L'maaseh Series in Honor of Siyum on Meseches Shabbos | | It may be more than six months since the 13th Siyum HaShas, but around the globe daf yomi learners continue to inspire Klal Yisroel with their unyielding commitment to the daf. For over half a year, and through the COVID-19 pandemic, these individuals and their families have made sacrifices to ensure the flame of Torah continues to burn. In honor of these individuals and the approaching Siyum on Meseches Shabbos, Agudath Israel of America's Daf Yomi Commission is proud to present a five-part Hilchos Shabbos Halachah L'maaseh series. The series will begin today, Sunday, August 2nd, at 9:00 pm EDT, and will continue each day at that time, through Thursday evening. Tonight's speaker is Rabbi Simcha Bunim Londinsky, Rav, Khal Ohr Gedalia, and Rosh Chabura at Beth Medrash Govoha. He will be speaking on the topic of dinei hadlokas neiros kiddush v'havdalah. This unique program will give Daf Yomi learners and non-Daf Yomi learners alike an opportunity to apply their learning of Meseches Shabbos to halachah l'maaseh in a clear and enlightening manner. | | FINAL SESSION: Summer of Torah Women's Lecture Series | | Agudah of Colorado Spearheads Kosher Free Meal Initiative | | Please click the above image, or here, to read the front-page article in the Intermountain Jewish News about Agudah of Colorado's efforts on behalf of the community. | | Agudath Israel Partners to Host One of the Largest Plasma Drives Yet, This Tuesday | | Continuing their coordinated campaign to bring lifesaving antibodies to COVID-19 patients in need, Agudath Israel of America is partnering yet again with the COVID Plasma Initiative, Refuah Health, Catskills Hatzolah, Kiryas Joel Volunteer EMS, and the New York Blood Center to host a COVID-19 plasma drive.
