This Elul Recalibrate with
Hasheeveinu - 
A Brand New 4 Week Program
Hasheeveinu
is a b rand new, 4-week Sunday morning program, for men and boys.
It's hard to believe but Rosh Hashanah is only a few weeks away. It's always challenging to get into the proper Teshuva mindset so here's a great idea to help you do just that. The first step to recalibrating is to strengthen our commitment to the study of Torah, as we say in davening: Hasheeveinu Avinu Lesorasecha, Bring us back, our G-D, TO YOUR TORAH!
Come to the Kollel for the next four Sunday mornings and study a different topic each week related to the upcoming Yomim Naroim/High-Holidays. Men will be paired with a chavrusah or group led by Kollel Rabbis, and boys will enjoy a special presentation on the lower level each week.
 
Schedule: September 4, 11, 18 & 25
8:00 a.m. Shacharis - note new time
- (+September 4 at 7:45 a.m.  due to Rosh Chodesh)
8:45 a.m. A gourmet Breakfast with Bagels, lox, waffles, omelets and a flavored brewed coffee bar. (Ice coffee too)
Men:
9:20 a.m. Chavrusah and Group Learning in Beis Medrash
10:05 - 10:20 a.m. 10 minute Elul/Teshuva Discussion
Boys:
9:20 - 10:20 a.m. Special Presentation on the Lower level followed by raffle drawings. 

All boys who attend all 4 programs will receive a special prize.

Further details will be announced shortly. For more information on  this  program please contact Rabbi Zeffren at [email protected].
