Young Israel of Sharon

All texts will be provided both in original Hebrew/Aramaic and in English. We will look at several styles of Gemaras, including both legal discussions and stories. Expect to see both the familiar and the unfamiliar and to be exposed to many talmudic and halachic ideas and principles.

o Not a lecture but a workshop with a workbook (www.hesber.org/) to make a concrete acquisition of the material. The focus will be upon the positive mitzvot as well as the most relevant melachot, with a special emphasis on practical matters such as understanding the start and end time of shabbat, warming up food and muktzeh. This class will be highly interactive and will combine conceptual analysis and pragmatic implementation. The small group learning (limited to 10-12 people) will be accessible to beginners and engaging for advanced learners as well. o Workbooks are available for purchase through the shul office for $20 (suggested donation). o Please email Rabbi Cheses at Rabbi@YISharon.org to reserve your spot.

Join us on Google Meet for these fabulous classes! Power Yoga and Pilates alternate weeks. Please refer to the Weekly Announcements to see which class is being offered each week. $5/class, which support the YIOS Financial Distress Fund.

Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer (1955; 1 hour and 41 minutes) (Available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6H6vEDQ1w) Set during the 1948 Arab--Israeli War, the conflict that led to the creation of the state of Israel, this landmark Israeli film is among the first features from that country to draw an international audience. Four soldiers of fortune -- a Palestinian, an Irishman, an American and a Yemenite -- have aligned themselves with the Jewish forces. As the group tries to maintain control of a key stronghold outside of Jerusalem, known as Hill 24, each character relates his reason for joining the fight. Not rated.
