From The Heights: November 2022

Jeff and Melanie Muller are hosting the Friday night Oneg tonight at 8:15 PM this week at their home, 2440 Elmdale Rd. We would love to see you there.

Kiddush this Shabbos is sponsored by Chuck and Sandra Zeitler to commemorate the Yahrzeit of Sandra's mother Genessah bas Yosel A'H.

This week at Shalosh Seudos I will be speaking about Rabbi Aharon Kotler, founding Rosh Yeshiva of Beis Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, NJ, and Rabbi Dr. Dov Revel, president of Yeshiva University, who share a Yohrtzeit, this Shabbos the 2nd of Kislev. An interesting pairing. Sponsorship is still available.

Addendum to last week's email. Last week's Shalosh Seudos was also sponsored by Hillel and Zahava Seltzer in memory of Zahava's mother Mrs Naomi Adler A"H.

This Shabbos Morning's Coffee Club is sponsored by Rob and Jan Altshuler. This year, the Parsha Shiur which meets on Shabbos morning at 8:30am, is focusing on the deep insights of the sefer Torah Ohr. A variety of Coffees for those who want or need caffeine before davening are offered. And mezonos refreshments for those who need calories in their systems before davening will be there as well. To sponsor future weeks of the Coffee Club, please contact the office 216-382-1958 or hjcsoffice@gmail.com

We are exploring the interest in having a coffee club on Sunday morning AFTER Shacharis. Please contact me or Lazer Porter if this interests you.

We would love to see your kids in shul. In an effort to help and welcome families, we have child care available on Shabbos morning; younger children have a program run by Chaya Leba Winters. And Rabbi Kirsch runs a stellar youth program starting at 10:15am.

HJC Tanya Tuesday. Special Review Shiurim

Here are links to two review shiurim I gave recently on the first two parts of Tanya.

The first class, a review of Chapters 1-17: https://youtu.be/9D-kelAfzWA

The second class, a review of Chapters 18-25: https://youtu.be/RRt0Fc8MAQU

I hope these are helpful in summarizing the ideas discussed in the One Chapter per class recordings that have been posted this year.

Thank you

HJC News - Parshas Vayeira

Mazel Tov to Raphael Setnik for completing his training and receiving his Beret in the Golani Brigade of the IDF.

We are delighted to announce the engagement of Ellie Babani and Raphael Setnik! Mazel Tov to the Babani and Setnik Families.

This year, the Parsha Shiur which meets on Shabbos morning at 8:30am, will focus on the deep Chassidishe insights of the sefer Torah Ohr on the parsha. This coincides with the Heights Coffee Club. A variety of Coffees for those who want or need caffeine before davening are offered. And mezonos refreshments for those who need calories in their systems before davening will be there as well.

We are exploring the interest in having a coffee club on Sunday morning AFTER Shacharis. Please contact me or Lazer Porter if this interests you.

This week at Shalosh Seudos I will speak about Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, whose second Yohrtzeit is the 20th of Cheshvan.

A reminder that Rebbetzin Deena's class for women has resumed and takes place every Monday at 9:30am at the Moores on Bromley. Children are welcome.

Mincha this coming Sunday will be at 4:55pm. HJC takes pride in being a full-service shul, all week long. If you are not at work or otherwise obligated at this early hour, please join us for our weekday Mincha-Maariv.

You can listen to much of the Torah I teach even when you are not in shul. The latest podcasts are online. I haven't been sending out emails each time I post a new recording. But this week five new mini-shiurim were added to the hundreds of recordings, which can be accessed
