Summer Yeshiva to Re-Open in Charlotte Your Connection To The Jewish Community REAITOR" Group Qtfttvivn ^oa/ss, Jtkc€r Jeremy Ordan Matti Ordan Reider 704.609.9300 704.904.7250 Jeremy.Ordan@AllenTate.com Matti.Ordan@AlIenTate.com TheOrdanReiderGroup.com Last summer’s success ful launch of Charlotte’s Summer Yeshiva at Ohr HaTorah was received well beyond expectations. Local members of the greater Charlotte Jewish community were invited to experience a genuine day or evening in a tradi tional Yeshiva setting. The Yeshiva was led by a group of Yeshiva students who chose to spend their some of their summer days here in Charlotte. Many people took advantage of the opportunity and the sound of Torah study filled the Lubavitch Education Center on Sardis Road. Due to last year’s success the doors of the summer Yeshiva are ready to reopen again. Beginning on Sunday evening, August 9, continuing through August 20, there will be a mini-Yeshiva right here in Charlotte, again at Congre gation Ohr HaTorah, 6619 Sardis Road. Led by some of our own home grown Yeshiva students and their peers from the US and Canada, From Lubavitch Yeshiva 2014. there will be a series of classes available both in the evening and during the daytime. Topics offered will include a Crash Course on Jewish History, Talmud and Jew ish Law, Kabbalah, and much more. Men and women will be able to attend various sessions, as well as set up private study with a partner, known in the Yeshiva world as Chavrusa study. These sessions will be set up by appointment, or even as walk-ins, schedule permit ting. One of the many benefits of this project is to allow local community members to experience and feel the atmosphere of a Yeshiva, with ongoing study ses sions simultaneously throughout the study hall. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to search for answers to all those challenging ques tions that may have been unanswered until now. Most importantly, they will delve in to the logic of the Talmud, study the pas sages of the Torah with commen tary, all in the original text.
