Shiurim at Torah Way (North London) were a great success this
past August /Av during the Bein Hazmanim. When others were on holiday, Shiurim
continued as usual at Start Your Day the Torah Way.
To celebrate the 7th
Anniversary of Torah Way, two sets of a few Shiurim took place this Sunday
given over by our regular speakers, on a wide range of topics, the guest
speaker being Dayan L.Y Raskin.
Two
Shiurim were also held on Bank Holiday, where Mr Abelesz from Golders Green who
related his life experiences during the period immediately after liberation,
until he arrived on these shores.
He was ably introduced by his nephew R’ Yeshaya Shulem Gross
of Stamford Hill, who expounded on the topic of ‘Zechor’ and ‘Timche’, both
being of unique value in Judaism from a Halachic and historic perspective.
Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Katz enthralled the assembled with his
beautiful speech on the timely subject of ‘Elvi’, exhorting us to ‘take refuge’
during this month so as to be able to reflect on our deeds of this past year,
much like a person who has accidentally killed another person takes refuge in
an ‘Ir Miklot’ where he is kept so that he can reflect on his whole past life
and make the necessary adjustments, so required to improve in ways that would
have been improbable, were he to remain in his normal routine setting,
surrounded by his familiar environment. Similarly, we should invest our efforts
during the Elul month to improve our conduct for the new year and the whole
future life.
Chaired by Dayan Emanuel Levy of Palmers Green and Southgate
synagogue, who gave the annual report, summing up the accumulated Shiurim,
which, given on a daily basis six days a week, clocked up to the numerical
value of the word Mizmor (293).
Dayan Dovid Greenhaus of Chassam Sofer Shul
gave a very informative shiur on the dinim of the sukkah, followed by a
L’chaim, dayan Levy Yitzchak Raskin of Lubavitch shul explained the Gemara in
Rosh Hashana: Hashem told the Jewish people: “Say for Me verses of Regency, say
for Me verses of remembrance, and with what? With a ram’s horn”. This explained
beautifully as always..
R’ Dovid Cohen chanted a chapter of Psalms for the success of
the celebration, followed by the event
The organisers thank all
those who participated.
