Rav Rimon inspires during visit to HANC High School

HANC High School welcomed Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon, an eminent talmid chacham and prolific author. He is founder and chairman of the Halacha Education Center which develops innovative educational curricula for Jewish studies, using state-of-the-art, cutting edge technologies. 

Rav Rimon delivered two shiurim to students and then met with administrators and board members regarding the latest trends, materials, and techniques in Torah education.

The first shiur was geared to the young men and women of HANC’s Beit Midrash Program. The students came with prepared questions regarding contemporary halachot of Shabbat and tefilah. Rav Rimon answered their questions in a clear and concise manner, explaining the various halachot and the reasoning behind them. Rav Rimon then addressed a different group of students on the topic of “Finding Your Own Voice in Tefilla.”

The visit served as a source of inspiration to students and faculty alike. HANC thanks the Lichtman and Kirschenbaum families who arranged and generously sponsored Rav Rimon’s visit, l’zecher nishmat Shani Kirschenbaum, Shoshana bat Binyomin Ze’ev, daughter of Aileen, and Ben Kirschenbaum, an aluma of HANC.

Rav Rimon has authored halachic works which reflect his unique approach of tracing the sources to the practical application of halacha in our modern reality. Many of his materials are used by the HANC Torah Sheba’al Peh classes.
