A new round of Middos Challenges will be starting this Sunday, focusing on how to combat Sinas Chinam (baseless hatred) – the sin for which the second Beis HaMikdash was destroyed.

Every week, you will receive a brief insight into how to work on Sinas Chinam, together with weekly Activity Challenges to put it into practice. You can earn points by completing the challenges each week, and the winners at the end of each month receive a prize. (Or feel free to sign up to just read the emails, and not try to earn points.)
