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.

Reena Michelle Fried passed on the photos for all of us to share. Thank you Reena.

Enjoy the pictures and your summer!

Shiur on the Halachos of Tisha B'Av

Here is another shiur from Rabbi Rosenstein - this time on the Halachos of Tisha B'Av. May will all celebrate a Yom Tov together this Sunday!

To listen to the shiur, please click HERE.

To download the shiur for your iPod, right click HERE. When the options come up, select "Save Target As..." That will allow you to give the file a new name if you want (make sure that the filename ends with .MP3) and save it to your computer.

The shiur is also available on the Tomer Devorah website on the Updates Page.

Shiur on the Nine Days by 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.
