Nach Yomi for Women

The Nach Yomi Women's Chabura is celebrating the completion of Neviim Acharonim. We welcome more participants to the daily learning (it's also fine if you can't make it every day) as we start Ketuvim on Motzei Shabbat.

Limmud 9:30 every morning and 1 hour after Tzeit Shabbat in the Women's Beit Midrash.

There is a daily Nach Chabura for women, following the schedule of the OU's Nach Yomi calendar.  It takes place in the women's Beit Medrash.  Please bring a tanach.  All levels are welcome! WhatsApp Group for the Shiur

Bet Midrash for Women

Our shul has a Bet Midrash for women, which is located in the large classroom upstairs, and was dedicated in memory of Yosef Malachi ben David Guedalia HY”D .  We welcome women to make use of it at all times. Please be respectful of the fact that this space has been dedicated as a place for women to learn. 

Beit Shemesh Morning Beit Medrash

Beit Shemesh morning Beit Medrash program is open Sunday-Thursday beginning at 9am. Learn whatever you want or join the Tzurba program learning hilchot Shabbat. Come for the learning and stay for the coffee!

Note: For security purposes we are trying to keep the front door of the shul locked between minyanim. To enter the shul during those times please use one of the side doors with the code. Please do not unlock the front door during those times.

Mi Sheberach for the wounded security forces

During chazarat ha'shatz, we will be giving out to each of the men and women in shul 3-4 names of wounded IDF soldiers and security forces. When the gabbai says the Mi Sheberach L'Cholim between Hagbah and the HafTorah everyone will say the names of the wounded on his list, and so – as a community – we will Daven together for all the wounded.

Please use this link to give the shul names of soldiers in active service
