Strengthening Torah Life. Advocating for the Community. Serving Each Individual. | | March 1, 2021 - 17 Adar 5781 News from the Agudah:
- "Upon entering the house, he would head straight to his table as a hungry, starving person runs to his food, where he would literally "devour" tens of pages of Gemara. Clearly, the Gemara was his "oxygen." Yesterday marked the 25th yahrtzeit of the Pnei Menachem, Rabbi Pinchos Menachem Alter, Gerer Rebbe zt"l. See below to read an article about him written by Rabbi Avrohom Birnbaum for the Jewish Observer in 2006.
- See below to watch a video update from Rabbi Avi Schnall, Director of Agudath Israel of America's NJ Office, on NJ Governor Phil Murphy's budget proposal.
- Lomdei Daf Yomi worldwide will complete Maseches Pesachim, just days before Pesach, see below for details on the upcoming siyum and events in conjunction with the first yahrtzeit, l'zecher nishmas, HaRav Yaakov Perlow, Novominsker Rebbe zt"l.
- "Those the Equality Act was crafted to protect are individuals. So are religious Americans. And we have rights, too, ones important enough to have been enshrined in the Constitution. Simply put, the Equality Act as written insults our nation's foundational commitment to the rights of religious believers." Click here to read an Op-Ed written by Rabbi Avi Shafran, public affairs director for the Agudah, for NBC News, on the Equality Act that is currently under consideration in Congress.
- Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst's halacha l'maaseh shiur will continue this Monday night (3/01/2021) and will be at 8:30 pm EST. The call in number is (518) 425-1725 and will be on The Modern Day Mechiras Chometz: Does it really work when the buyer cannot afford the real worth of what is being sold by the Rov and when both buyer & seller are anticipating that everything be returned right after Pesach?
- Between now and Pesach, beginning this week, we will be having special shiurim in honor of Pesach - please see below for next weeks full schedule, and we hope you'll join! Shiurim will be archived at https://agudah.org/torah-projects/ if you missed them when they played live.
