Graduation Kiddush Mazal tov to all of our graduates, listed below, and thank you to the following
families (*as of Wednesday, June 14) who have sponsored this week’s Kiddush:
The idea for setting aside daily time for learning goes back to God’s
charge to Joshua “V’hageta bo yomam v’layla.” Torah should occupy
one’s attention day and night (Joshua ch 1). The Talmud in Shabbat 31a
states a person will be asked six questions when one dies. One of them:
Kove'ah Ittim LaTorah? Did you set aside time for learning? Over time
different schedules were made for studying. The first cycle of Daf Yomi
commenced on the first day of Rosh Hashanah 5684 (11 September
1923). We are proud to join those who learn a page of the Babylonian Tal-
mud each day, completing it in 2,711 days.
Every person who comes to the Daf at The RJC makes a contribution
and we are lucky to have so many people who bring different areas of ex-
pertise to the table, as the Talmud covers so much. Our guide, leader and
teacher is David Quint whose commitment to the integrity of each daf is
inspiring to all. David is a master teacher in the fundamentals of the give
and take of the Talmud, as well as the details & nuances of every opinion.
Shabbat Hashkamah Shiur - 30 Minutes after Minyan
After the Hashkama Minyan Kiddush, please join us for our weekly shiur. This week, Rabbi Charles Sheer will present on the topic of “Dor Ha-Midbar and
the Biblical Concept of Justice”.
“...Make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths and in the mouths of Your people...so that we, our children and grandchil-dren...may know Your name and study your Torah…” - Blessing over the Torah
