Mishmar Is Back!

 

On Monday, September 12, students were welcomed into the Beit Midrash for Mishmar- an opportunity for them to continue their learning after school. A round-table lesson commenced with pizza, cookies, and cupcakes- in celebration of Rabbi Manu Hass's birthday- on the table. Rabbi Hass introduced the idea of why Rosh Hashanah comes before Yom Kippur and students were encouraged to ask and answer questions. The lesson concluded that the main point of Rosh Hashanah is to come face to face with Hashem and to think solely of Him. And once face to face with God, we can start to understand why we were created and what He wants for us. Only once this foundation is made can we start to work towards a successful year - hence why Rosh Hashanah is before Yom Kippur. The event ended in cheers and singing.

Mishmar is sponsored by the Aschendors family and starts at 4:45 in the Beit Midrash on Mondays and Tuesdays. All US students are encouraged to join Rabbi Manu Hass and Dr. Ethan Rotenberg.
