Everyone Who Came Gained Something

Everyone who attended the shiur and tour came away enriched, impressed, and with plenty to think about — both those who had never studied the subject and, all the more so, those who had. 🏕️

You Got All of Us Excited About Eruvin

You got all of us excited about Eruvin and helped us appreciate the subject, thanks to your tremendous knowledge and expertise, the calmness and clarity of your presentation, and above all, your sincere desire to act l’Shem Shamayim, raise public awareness of the importance of eruvin, and help more and more communities have a kosher — and even mehudar — eruv. ✅

May Awareness of Eruvin Continue to Grow

I wish you continued hatzlacha in spreading your knowledge, that you continue to see bracha in your work, and that awareness of this important — and unfortunately often neglected — subject of maintaining a proper eruv continues to grow. May you continue to increase and strengthen Torah l’Shem Shamayim! 🍀 Ziv Arazi, City Rabbanut Kollel, Yeshivat HaKotel
