YIW opens adult ed classes

A Jewish history class on “Eretz Yisrael after the Churban” is being given by Rabbi Evan Hoffman each Tuesday evening at 8:15pm in the Young Israel of Woodmere.

The Jewish people were not exiled from the Land of Israel by the Romans. While the destruction of Holy Temple and the loss of Jewish statehood were traumatic experiences for our nation, our ancestors continued the valiant struggle for a sustained Jewish majority in the country. As the demographic balance shifted against the Jews, they fought for the survival of their community.

The course will trace the history of Eretz Yisrael in the first millennium of the Common Era.

Tuesday evening at 9:10 pm, Rabbi Dr. Aaron Glatt will offer a Gemorah shiur. This class will study sugyos from Meseches Beitzah and concludes at 10 pm.

On Wednesday evenings, a Halacha Shiur is given by Rabbi Moshe Sokoloff from 8:40 to 9:25 pm. Rabbi Sokoloff also leads an Iyun Gemorah shiur on Sunday mornings following the 8:30 Shacharis.

Rabbi Billet offers a Tanach class for women on Monday mornings at 10 am, and a Torah sheba’al peh class for women at noon.
