Segulah of Parshas HaMan for Tuesday

Leave a Comment

breadsmallThe Yerushalmi teaches that one who recites Parshas Hamon every day is assured that his food will not be lacking. Reb Mendel M’Riminov said that saying Parshas Hamon (Shenayim Mikroh V’Echod Targum) on  the Tuesday of Parshas B’Shalach, is a Segulah for Parnasah, and indeed this has become a well accepted custom in many circles. Also have in mind as well all of Klal Yisroel, many of whom are suffering terribly with a lack of parnassah. Chazal teach that one who prays for someone else in need, for the same thing that they need, the one praying for their friend will be answered first!

The Cleveland Community Welcomes TBMC – Talmudo Biyado Mishnayos Clubs – Sundays!

Leave a Comment

TBMC is excited to announce the opening of a new mishnayos group in Cleveland this week. Boys now have an opportunity to attend a fun learning program after school every day where they can be with friends, learn mishnayos, and earn prizes and trophies. TBMC has seen a tremendous interest in opening new clubs around the country. Many parents have expressed what these groups have done for their sons.

Rabbi Shmuel Abramowitz, founder and director, wanted his son to have some structure of learning and reviewing mishnayos after school but in a fun and nurturing atmosphere. Chanukah time 2015, he started learning 2 mishnayos daily with his son Moishy and his friend. He provided prizes, nosh and other incentives. Other boys started coming and the informal group started growing and gained popularity with the local boys. TBMC was born. Rabbi Abramowitz, said, “it’s very exciting for me to be part of this great harbotzas HaTorah that has been so well received by the Cleveland community.”

TBMC is an after-school mishnayos program for boys 9-13 with a 20 minutes daily shiur, nosh & incentives coupled with a chazara program geared towards Kinyan HaShas. The program is
based on the chazara system founded by Rabbi Sender Dolgin of Shas Chabura. TBMC is now located in 7 cities in the US and Canada with a membership of about 800 boys. TBMC is endorsed by Horav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Horav Aharon Feldman, Horav Mattisyahu Salomon, the Roshei Hayeshiva of BMG and many other Rabbanim.

Join this Sunday, January 7th from 7:00-7:20. Alexander Shul 4380 University Parkway. Rabbi Muken, starting Seder Nezikin. Please bring your own mishnayos.

1/12/18 Early School Dismissals – Plus Minyan Request

Leave a Comment

Hebrew Academy

  • HAC dismissing early, at 12 with bussing.
  • Oakwood Yeshiva of Cleveland dismissing at 12:30 with bussing.
  • Yavne dismissing at 11:30 with 12:00 bussing.

LJN publishes on Friday only when there is an immediate need. Since this post will likely be highly viewed, I’m taking the unusual step of including an unrelated but important request.

The funeral of Martin Tesler, ob”m, is today. Due to the circumstances, a minyan isn’t confirmed. If you can help with a graveside minyan that would be a huge help and zechus. https://www.localjewishnews.com/2018/01/11/baruch-dayan-haemes-martin-tesler-obm/
