Wednesday night (Mar 23rd, 2022) 7pm EDT we continued our study of Meharal, Derekh haChaim 1:2. (Caveat: Whereas we usually meet on Thursday nights at 7pm Eastern.)

Our first weeks at Zelmele’s Kloiz had lots of wonderful give and take, and many of us stayed on afterward for exciting discussions. (Which personally, I found quite informative.) Join us at The Kloiz next week!
