The Chief Bukharian Rabbinate of USA and Canada held their annual Pre-Pesach Shiur along with a Q&A for all the rabbis of the Bukharian
community.
Over 40 community rabbis joined at one point of the three-hour session, which took place at the Beth Gavriel Community Center in Forest Hills.
The program began with the Av Beit Din, Rav Eliyahu Ben Chaim, delivering a class on hilchot Pesach. This was followed by a class by the Chief Rabbi of the Bukharian community in USA and Canada, Rav Yitzchak Yisraeli. The Chief Rabbi then answered a wide variety of questions with the relevant sources and explanations in an awe-inspiring fashion.
Rabbi Nissan Gavrielov then provided an update on an initiative the Chief Bukharian Rabbinate started two years ago in providing proper guidance and Kallah classes to the women of the community. Over 50 rebbetzins and Kallah teachers have united in teaching in a unified fashion following the rulings of the Shulchan Aruch as per the guidance of Rav Yisraeli. The goal is to further expand programs and services to the women of the community in the very near future.
