Now Your Kids Can Also Learn the Daf

Leave a Comment

DafYomi4Kids(Ed: I saw this recently and thought it was a cute and effective concept, but have not tried it since my oldest is not ready for Daf Yomi :>. One of the most beautiful things about Torah is its ability to connect different generations and this certainly tries to do this.)

Daf Yomi 4 Kids is a printable monthly e-publication (in PDF format) for children ages 6 to 14 that follows the Daf Yomi cycle established by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in 1923. Each double sided page of Daf Yomi 4 Kids corresponds to the daf (Talmud folio) being studied in Daf Yomi. Click here for a sample of the first issue.

Daf Yomi 4 Kids has won the esteem of top rabbis and Jewish educational experts.

The colorful, easy-to-understand content of Daf Yomi 4 Kids ensures it will be a hit with children and educators alike. Children will be so captivated they will not even realize they are learning!

URGENT: Many families without heat and power for Shabbos

Leave a Comment

Due to the recent storms many families are without power and are unlikely to have the power returned any time soon.

An effort is being organized to solicit families able to host as well as families requiring hosting. The need is great and many local community organizations are being stretched to their limits to help. In particular, Cleveland Heights residents seem to be hit particularly hard.

Please contact Mrs. Drazin if you can offer a place or if you need one, or if you can cook for Shabbos.

Housing and food situations are available so do not be shy to ask!

Try these numbers: 216-321-9393, 216-321-9614, or 216-409-6804. Whatever you can do will make a big difference!
