Hi Everyone,

I've created a facebook group for the hilchot brachot shiur at

If you are planning to attend the shiur, please join that group.

If you don't use facebook, please email me to let me know if you plan to attend.

Kol Tuv,

Dear Friends and Students,

I hope you are all enjoying the summer, whether you are lucky enough to be on vacation, or are in school or at work. I want to take a little time to recap our past year at Orach Mishor with you, and to discuss plans for the future.

Here are pictures from the recent Rabbis & Ribeyes event!

With great pride, we congratulate Orach Mishor participants Rav Matthew Goldstone and Rav Menashe Kliment on receiving semicha from Rav Zalman Nechemia Goldberg. Both of them have been studying Issur Veheter this year in Orach Mishor and at Machon Pardes.

May they both continue to have much success learning and teaching Torah!

Details about a festive celebration will follow shortly...

Not directly related to our usual shiurim: This event might be of interest to all you Brandeis alums out there.

We will not have Shiur next sunday, as it is Purim. However, you may wish to go over these Purim "mekorot":

This Sunday at 1:30 PM Israel time -

Torah Values and Public Health - An Introduction
(Special shiur at Pardes Institute)
As the US debates reforming it's healthcare system, and as we hear daily about the potential of dietary and lifestyle modifications to prevent disease more effectively than drugs, public health research and policy are drawing attention as never before.
What can Torah principles teach us about ethical decisions in the sphere of public health?

After a hiatus for chazara, we will be having an intro shiur to Taarovot today, Sunday Jan 24, at 5 PM Israel time.

No preparation is required for this shiur.

Looking forward to "seeing" you again!
