Shiur on the Nine Days from Rabbi Rosenstein

We have posted an audio shiur of Rabbi Rosenstein discussing the halachos of the Nine Days. The recording is from a shiur to women in Passaic, NJ around 10 years ago (you will be able to tell from the difference in Rabbi Rosenstein's voice!). The quality is not great (it was recorded on something called a "cassette tape" that you may have heard about from your grand parents), but it is audible.

May Klal Yisroel know no more tzaros and may we be zocheh together to see the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu bimheira biyameinu, amein.

The Feiner Bris!

Mazal tov to the Feiners and the entire TD family!

This morning Rabbi and Mrs. Feiner were zocheh to make a bris for their son, Avraham Yeshayahu Feiner! Hundreds and hundreds of people were in attendance at the Great Synagogue in Yerushalayim for the occasion.

Rabbi Feiner makes the Shehechiyanu Bracha immediately following the bris.
