A first in North London: Torah Way programme launched!

By Jonathan Stern

This Sunday morning something new happened in North London: twenty five particpants met to hear a Drosho in English on How to Prepare for Rosh Hashana. This novel idea, which is actually based on the Start Your Day the Torah Way programme in North Manchester is a morning Shiur given by Rabbonim and others to enhance the busy worker's life before setting out to his business day.
Judging by the audience, one could discern the crying need for such a Shiur, as people from all ages and all walks of life were in attendance. Rabbi Zvi Eckstein (see picture) a Maggid Shiur in the Belz Beis HaMedrash on Clapton Common, expounded on he idea of being besimcho and utilising the rare opportunity given to us in Chodesh Ellul to prepare for the coming new year. Spiced with personal anectodes and tales of Tzadikim, the ideas came across with a unique shine and sparkle as the receptive audience sat spellbound for bearly 45 minutes.
It is hoped that next week's Shiur, on how to set a goal in Ellul, to be given by Rabbi Meir Rothfeld at the Biala Beis HaMedrash - 110 Castlewood Road, were plenty parking space is available - will likewise succeed in enthralling the assembled and thereby establishing a pattern of Torah Learning the Torah Way in North London.
This week's Shiur is available on Kol HaLoshon and next week's Shiur will also be available Live on 1503AM from 9:20am to 10:00am.
Posters are printed in full colour, with a theme depicting the current Parsah or Yom Tov and a novel idea is the constant face-changes showing a new Rabbi every week.
The programme was made possible by the generous cooperation of Torah Way founder and dynamo Mr Menachem Dovid Salzman of Manchester, who went out of his way to ensure the success of this launch.
This week's sponsor was Calculu Business & Training Centre
