You don’t want to miss Sunday mornings at the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills! Last week, the YIKGH began the second season of “Shiur & Shmear,” a weekly Sunday morning learning program with complimentary breakfast for both men and women. The popular program begins with separate 20-30-minute, interactive shiurim for men and women that start right after the 8:00 a.m. Shacharis minyan finishes (approximately 8:40). Rabbi Daniel Rosenfelt, Rabbi of the YIKGH, delivers the shiur for women, entitled “Timely Tefilah Tricks” (practical halachos and hashkafos of davening), while Rabbi Ephraim Glatt, Esq., Associate Rabbi of YIKGH, delivers the shiur for men, entitled “Make the Most of Your Doorpost” (practical halachos of Mezuzah). Each week is a self-contained topic, and the shiurim are recorded. Following the shiurim, there is a delicious breakfast of bagels, spreads, and coffee, to either eat at YIKGH or “grab and go.”
“Shiur & Shmear” is one of the many new exciting programs we are running at YIKGH; thank you to all the sponsors and participants, remarked Rabbi Rosenfelt. “Shiur & Shmear is a great way to start the week in a productive and efficient manner,” said Rabbi Glatt. “Learn exciting Torah, shmooze with your friends, and eat breakfast – and still be able to start your day by 9:30!” Many of the participants are excited for the second season, having learned many practical halachah tips in the first season, and the room was packed for the first session of this new season. Because the shiurim are interactive, you don’t want to miss the lively and stimulating discussions that often ensue during the sessions. The entire community is welcome to join!
