A Note From a Friend
Daf Yomi at Sons of Israel
Our Daf Yomi group, the daily study of Talmud, got a shout-out from Rav Eli Stefansky at the Mercaz Daf Yomi in Bet Shemesh. A visitor to our community was so impressed that he took a video and sent it to Rav Eli, who played it before the next day's lesson.
Cheers to 40 Years!
Thanks to everyone who joined our dinner party and raffle celebrating our wonderful office manager, April Daugherty!
