Unlike their last location, this new space accommodates all divisions of the Agudah in house, including the Midwest Bais Horaah. Additionally, the new building will house the expanded Antonia Spitzer Jewish Library, which has now tripled in size and includes computers kiosks and a media/event room. "This new office has been long awaited and very much needed," said Mr. Moshe Davis, interim executive vice president of AIOI. "Many people put in tremendous efforts to make this an efficient and productive workspace." The event, which was attended by Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst, Dayan, AIOI, and Rabbi Shmuel Yehudah Levin, Rosh Yeshivas Telshe Chicago, along with local rabbanim and community leaders, was also attended by Rabbi Yitzchok Ehrman, COO of Agudas Yisroel of America, and Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, executive vice president of Agudath Yisroel of America. "We are looking forward to seeing great success come from this new office. We will, with Hashem's help, host a chanukas habayis for the community in the near future," said Rabbi Ari Strulowitz, director of operations for AIOI. | | Click here for a high res version of the images above and to view more images of the event. | | On Tuesday evening, ו' תמוז, July 5th, Agudath Israel of Illinois' Daf Yomi Commission sponsored a city-wide Siyum on Mesechta Yevamos at Khal Chassidim. Opening remarks addressed to the appreciable crowd were delivered by R' Moshe Davis, Interim Executive Vice-President of AIOI. Rabbi Ephraim Twerski, Rav of Khal Chassidim, then delivered the Hadran on Yevamos and Rabbi Mordechai Tarkieltaub, a long-time Daf Yomi Maggid Shiur gave the Pesicha on Mesechta Kesuvos. The inspiring evening was highlighted with a very informative Chalitza demonstration given by Rabbi Meir Tzvi Spitzer, R"M Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim. As advertised, the presentation literally "brought the sugya to life", with a detailed demonstration and of the halachos and the chalitza shoe. After the demonstration Rabbi Spitzer offered divrei Chizuk to all those learning the Daf and a bracha that their commitment to this vital daily learning program continue to meet only with hatzlacha in the coming years. | | If you did not receive this email directly and would like to receive it in the future, please click here. | | | | | | |
