Bais Medrash New Lending Initiative

The Bais Medrash at Shomrei will be starting a new lending initiative to enhance Talmud Torah opportunities for Daf Yomi learners (and others) that find themselves on the road traveling and do not necessarily want to shlep a heavy gemara.

We have started the project by purchasing the paper "Travel" volumes Shevuos, Avoda Zara, Horiyos, Zevachim, Menachos and some of Chulin.

These volumes are available on a first come first serve basis to Shomrei members.

Anyone interested in borrowing a sefer or underwriting the purchsae of future travel editions should please contact Shlomo Shulman at pbconsultant@yahoo.com or the Shomrei office.

We are excited to introduce this new initiative and we hope that you make use of it!

Elly Lasson Meeting with JobKatif Staff in Israel

Shalom Rav Rimon.

Today JobKatif’s professional staff met with Elliot Lasson, who himself is a high level employment professional and o r g a n i z a t i o n a l psychologist from Baltimore.

Elliot is a member of Shomrei Emunah shul, very closely connected to JobKatif, and he chose to come and share his expertize with us as an expression of his support for our work.

The meeting was very successful, and we learnt a lot from Elly’s extensive and varied experience.

Thank you Elly, and once again….there’s no other shul as supportive as Shomrei Emunah! B’ezrat haShem, we shall continue our cooperation in the future.
