Dear Friend,

 

It is interesting to note that Rosh Chodesh Teves always falls out on Chanukah. While one might view this as a calendar coincidence, the message is profound. The Greeks attempted to undermine these three core tenets of our faith, Shabbos, Bris Milah and Rosh Chodesh. Remarkably, each one of these mitzvos can be found in the holiday of Chanukah. Chanukah always contains a Shabbos, the eight days symbolize Bris Milah and Rosh Chodesh Teves always falls out on Chanukah. Observing these three core mitzvos will assure the continuity of our people.  

 
Please join the OU Women's Initiative at ou.org/women/rc on December 25 at 12 noon EST for our virtual Rosh Chodesh Tevet shiur with Mrs. Batyah Brander.

 

Mrs. Batyah Brander, nee Lahasky, is a New York native, living in Los Angeles for over 30 years. Batyah earned her bachelor's degree from Cooper Union School of Engineering and her teaching certificate from Machon Gold Seminary. Over the past 30 years, she has been involved in Jewish education on the high school and adult level. She currently teaches Navi at Machon BY and for the LINK Kollel, which her husband founded. She is inspired every week by the enthusiasm of her adult ed women and walks away from teaching these incredible women feeling like she just went to a spa. Mrs. Brander enjoys challenging herself and her students to delve deeply into the text and uncover the multilayered majesty that G-d has hidden beneath the surface of his Torah. At the OU Women's Initiative, she has presented as part of Torat Imecha Nach Yomi, teaching Sefer Tzefanya to over 5,000 women. 

Chodesh Tov,

Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman
