ReplyDeleteLet’s support Rabbi Slifkin on Feb 13 & 14
ReplyDeleteWe’ve all gained from this cost-free blog forum which Rabbi Slifkin has provided. Isn’t it time for us to “give back” now in some small way by showing our support?
For those of us who live in the NY/NJ metropolitan area, going to Rabbi Slifkin’s lectures in Brooklyn on Feb 13 & 14 is a way for us to show our support.

Between Motzai Shabbos and Sunday, let’s find some time in our busy schedules to show up.
See you there.
