Subscribe to Iyunei Shabbat
The Schechter Rabbinical Seminary in Jerusalem, together with the Rabbinical Assembly, are bringing to life “Iyunei Shabbat” – the weekly Torah Portion commentary that was published for many years in Israel by the Masorti Movement and the RA.
Each week you can receive Iyunei Shabbat – a commentary on the weekly Torah Portion. The Dvar Torah is written by faculty members of the Schechter Institute and Schechter Rabbinical Seminary as well as Masorti rabbis and leading members of the community, and edited by Rabbi Dr. Alexander Even Chen, a lecturer in Jewish Thought at the Schechter Institute. The commentary will conclude with a “Torah Roundtable” of ideas for discussion.
Masorti Olami is currently working on making Iyunei Shabbat available in other languages for the benefit of our kehillot around the world. We will update you when this is available.
In the meantime, If you wish to receive Iyunei Shabbat on a weekly basis by e-mail, please contact Linda Price at: pr@schechter.ac.il
You can also read Iyunei Shabbat on the Schechter web site: http://www.schechter.ac.il/site/
