Full Steam ahead for Start Your Day the Torah Way!

14/11/2007

The winter has barely started but the growing numbers attending the Shiurim are undaunted by the changing of the clock, nor by the change in the weather. Attendance for the daily morning Shiur in English was at a peak when the Farewell Speech from Rabbi Yaacov Mordechai Gee, (formerly Rosh HaKollel of Pinter Kollel?) was given, attended by Dayan Dunner, Dayan Greenaus and Dayan Babad. Dayan Dunner expressed the emotions from all present for having to part from such an esteemed member of the Stamford Hill community, reminiscing on the days when Rabbi Gee as a yeshiva bochur left England to learn in Lakewood under the legendary Rabbi Aron Kotler ob"m. The future programme of Shiurim is being influenced by the influx of ever more English speaking emissaries from abroad who give of their free time to share a Torah thought with our attendees. The weekly highlight is Sunday when a larger audience is in attendance, indeed this coming Sunday we expect a larger than usual public to come and listen to a lecture by Rabbi Sudak, spiritual head of the UK Chabad community, who has offered his valuable time even with his recent weak health. For Chanukkah, there is an impressive lineup of speakers that will usher in the higher sprits of Chanukkah with original Torah discourses to elevate their listeners to experience 'finding the oil = Torah Wisdom' in our days. It is hoped that many people who until now were unable to attend and perhaps have followed recorded Shiurim by using the Kol HaLoshon system, will now attempt to find the time in their daily schedules to attend in person.

Start Your Day the Torah Way News

For immediate release

South Tottenham, 13 August 2007

Start Your Day the Torah Way - North London celebrates its second anniversary.

By Menasche Scharf,

This coming Sunday, like every other Sunday over the past two years, there will be a Shiur given at the Biala Beis Hamedrash on Castlewood Road, from 9:20AM till 10:00AM.

But to mark the program’s second anniversary, as a result of the active input of the indefatigable Rabbi Moshe Margulies - who is the mainstay of the Shiur throughout the year - there will be an added portion of Torah learning this Sunday in celebration of this milestone.

Following the regular Shiur, members who have had the pleasure of completing another year of delightful learning of a wide range of varied and interesting Torah topics on a daily basis - will be joined by the programs distinguished and dedicated speakers - who freely give of their precious time to disseminate Torah - in celebrating the second anniversary of Torah Way - North London.

This celebration will take place at the Palmers Green and Southgate Shul Hall, on Brownlow Road N11, at the kind invitation of Rabbi Emanuel Levy, who is a regular speaker at Start Your Day The Torah Way - North London. Free transportation to the hall will be provided from the Biala Beis Hamedrash after the regular Shiur and light refreshments will be laid out in situ in the Shul Hall.

The event will be addressed by Guest Speaker Rabbi Avrohom Katz, Principal of the Beis Chaya Rochel Seminary in Gateshead - who is coming down especially for the occasion, and by Rabbi Emmanuel Levy, the Rov of Palmers Green Shul.

Rabbi Katz will also be speaking at Start Your Day the Torah Way - North West London, after which he will proceed to the anniversary event. Regular listeners from North West London have expressed an interest in attending the anniversary and indeed, the general public as well as attendees from Start Your Day the Torah Way in North West London, Edgware and - if they happen to be in London - Antwerp, Gateshead and Manchester are all welcome.

Start Your Day the Torah Way is an Adult Learning Program that was established
in Manchester about four years ago by people who wanted to literally Start their Day the Torah Way.

Since its inception, the shiurim (in English) have sprung up in North and North West London, Gateshead, Edgware, and Antwerp has also followed suit, with its unique
style: in Yiddish.

Recordings of past shiurim are available on four channels of the Kol HaLoshon Torah telephone sytem, accessible with a local dial-up number from major Jewish communities worldwide and are also available in various digital formats. - for more information please email: info@calculu.co.uk.
