DAF YOMI OPPORTUNITY!
Did you know that the worldwide Daf Yomi program (its 14th cycle) will be completing mesectha Eiruvin in exactly one month?! Next up: mesechta Pesachim! 

I love mesechta Pesachim. 

Packed with wonderful lumdus, talmudic logic, and a plethora of practical halacha which directly influence a wide range of Torah topics, I am really excited to teach this exciting mesechta to OS’s amazing and resilient daf chaburah. 

Did you know this is my 3rd cycle teaching daf yomi at Ohav Sholom?! 

Join me on Monday, November 23, 2020, for the first page of mesechta Pesachim and YOUR first step towards mastering shas and becoming a talmid chochom.

One of my favorite books defending Jewish orthodoxy and much more is from the great fiction writer Herman Wouk, THIS IS MY GOD. 

I recommend you borrow/buy this book and pay close attention to the chapters in which the great man oozes enthusiasm for Talmud study and how his Russian grandfather lovingly taught him how to learn and appreciate the Jewish People’s greatest book.
Have a great Shabbos!

See you in shul,

Rabbi Aaron D. Mehlman
