Rosh Chodesh Iyar with Mrs. Racheli Luftglass
The month of Iyar is a time of increasing physical light as the days get longer. At the same time, this month is also known as Chodesh Ziv, a month of radiance. The name אייר is related to the Hebrew word אור. What happens in the physical world provides context for our spiritual development. Spiritual light increases during this month as we approach the receiving of the Torah, of which is says, כי נר מצוה ותורה אור, the commandment is like a candle, and Torah is light. 

Please join the OU Women's Initiative at ou.org/women/rc on Sunday, May 1 at 12 noon EST for our virtual Rosh Chodesh Iyar shiur with Mrs. Racheli Luftglass.
