Inspirational Lunch at Touro

A recent email from Liza Souroujon (09-10)... Yashar Koach to all of you and of course a thank you to Liza.

Hi again!

During lunch in Touro a bunch of TD girls were sitting at a table and Margalit (Schwartz) walked by so we asked if we could have an impromptu shiur about what we should be working on during the next month of Cheshvan. Hope the picture can go on the blog.

Rabbi Brown and The Feiners

We hope all of our alumnae had an uplifiting, meaningful and spiritually cleansing Yom Kippur. Here is a picture of Rabbi Brown with Rabbi Eytan Feiner and Shaya Feiner at a shiur at Rabbi Feiner's shul ["The White Shul"] in Far Rockaway. Rabbi Brown addressed the community with an inspiring Aseres Yemei Teshuva shiur.

Good Yom Tov to all!

Aseres Yemei Teshuva Online Shiur

On Monday night, Tomer Devorah alumnae "got together" for an Aseres Yemei Teshuva shiur with Rabbi Rosenstein. The 6-way video conversation on ooVoo worked out for everyone (or, almost everyone...).

The shiur was recorded and will hopefully be made avilable online.
