Tonight...Tuesday Erev Chanukah

The Rav will be speaking in Muss classrooms at aprox. 10:30. All are invited.

Looking Ahead...

With Chanukah right around the corner, the proper preparations are underway.
Chanukah falls out Thursday, Dec. 2 - Thursday, Dec. 9.
A couple of things to consider:

1) Minyan - we don't want to have every day (or do we?) and Friday, Shabbos and Sundays are usually out so we should determine on which days we will have a special minyan. Maybe the first day (Thursday), then on Monday (5th day of Chanukah) and then Zos? Should we do more? Comment below. To be determined.

2) 5c wants to host some sort of gathering. To be determined.

3) Shabbos Chanukah is questionable. People do different things. Also to be determined.

4) Surprise event. To be determined.

Basically I was getting tired of seeing the previous Raz post and wanted to ask about the deal for a minyan on Chanukah and so i made this whole long post of nothing. Comment below if you have ideas for Chanukah.

This should get some* in the mood...

*-some being the three people in the video

Dovi F. noted that this video of Zev's brother might be good for other people to get in the mood.

Raz's North American Tour...

If you know anybody who would be interested in any of these gatherings and lives in those areas spread the word...

Raz on Tuesday night...

Tell your friends, tell your family...

In case you some how missed this one...

I have copies if anyone is interested, sometimes in my pocket, sometimes in Morg 507. I'm selling them for $10-15. You can decide the price.

Minyan Tomorrow...

There will G-d willing be a minyan tomorrow.
TIME: 7 A.M.
PLACE: Muss Quiet Room
BRING: Prayer Books, Shawls, and Instruments

It could be we'll just do a slower Shacharis and Hallel and then team up with the 7:40 below us for laining but maybe not. We'll see.

Enjoy this video from the East in honor of Rosh Chodesh:



A gut chodesh!

Minyan Anyone?

Monday morning Rosh Ḣodesh minyan anyone?
I assume around 7 o'clock start time. Comment if you're in. Don't be lazy.

A gutten chodesh!

A few matters...

Many people have asked me to post various things in the past week or two. I was a little busy (still am) but here are some things people should know about:

1) This past Monday night there was a gathering in 5c featuring the Radziner rebbe from Eretz Yisrael. You already missed this one. Reb Hirsch Meilech came. See dark phone picture below.

2) Got two emails about this one today (Tuesday)...

GUEST SHIUR AT Y.U.

"WHAT THE CARLEBACH MINYAN DOES TO DAVENING, BIRCAS HATORAH DOES TO LEARNING GEMARA" [Ed. note - no idea what that means.]

Based upon the Ramcha"l sefer about how to learn gemara, Yeshivas Bircas HaTorah, over the past 20 years, has developed, used, and taught a proven method of how to approach learning Gemara. How to analyze and appreciate its wisdom, and most importantly- how to make learning exciting and self inspiring.

The co-Rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Tagger, will be coming to YU this Wed. Nov. 3rd. (today) to present a shiur in the yeshiva's exciting and interactive way in which they learn.
Come see for yourself why people are buzzing about Bircas HaTorah.

Where: Y.U. in the Gleuck building on the 3rd floor.
When: 10:20pm Wed. Nov. 3rd

Additionally this is what our very own Adam Gidding has to say about Bircas HaTorah...

"Bircas is a gevalt place to learn, especially if you want a chill environment in the old city, but amazing gemara skills building, they have a unique style that is very amazing which helped me tremendously. I was there over the summer for about a month, awesome/extremely extremely learned rabbeim, amazing location, perfect for a guy looking to learn for a bit after college or in the middle. I wasn't expecting anything crazy when I went in, turns out its very pashut times in there. Feel free to get in touch w me if you have any more q's"

3) Some also wished for this video to go up. This is living proof that if you do too much accounting you will eventually snap.

4) Raz is coming to town.

He will be in YU on November 16th, i believe a Tuesday night, and will be playing at 10:30 in Rubin Shul. It will be a pre-Chanuka gathering with a suggested (read: demanded) donation of $10. More to follow on that one.

5) When Raz is in, there was an interest to have a Shabbos somewhere, probably Teaneck, with him and us. Comment if you're interested. It would be the Shabbos on the 20th of November.

6) If Shabbos with Raz doesn't happen I also received this email...

The entire stollel, including stollel families are invited, and invited to invite for a big Shabbos in Delaware at the community of Elliot Margules. Only catch is that it's a "shul-shabbaton" and they really really need numbers by that monday, the 15th. It will fo sho be really awesome for all the chevra, and the Delaware community would really really benefit from what would surely be their unparalleled contribution to an extraordinary Shabbos.

So that's what's going on. Sup diller.
