New for Elul!
5-Minute Mussar Shiur Before Maariv

In an effort to capitalize on the auspicious time of Elul and earn merit for a kesiva vechasima tova, we will be starting a new, 5-minute shiur before maariv each night. The shiur offers practical insights into perfecting our avodas Hashem.
 
The shiur takes place
in the Beis Medrash from 9:50-9:55.
