The first batch of books consist of the books Joshua, Judges, Samuel (1&2) and Kings (1&2). Joshua picks up from the end of Dvarim the death of Moshe on the eve of the entrance to the Land of Israel and Kings 2 concludes with the destruction of the first Temple and the ensuing exile. Together they cover 850 years which include the entrance and conquest of the Land of Israel, the challenges of settling and holding the land, tensions among the tribes of Israel, relationships with neighboring nations, the institutions of the judges and kingship as well as many other topics. These classes will be run live via teleconference and allow the audience to interact with Rabbi Spitz in real time.

2018 SHABBAT PROJECT
Important Halacha as we Approach Winter As a sign of the requirement to keep the sanctuary dignified, Halacha forbids the bringing in of coats, boots and other outside clothing into any sanctuary or place regularly holding a minyan. On that basis, those attending our Minyanim are requested to leave their coat, boots and other outside clothing in the coatroom found on the first, second and third floors. Reserving Seating in Any of Our Minyanim Those attending our Minyanim are advised that saving of seats on Shabbat or holidays is only allowed for the first hour of services on Shabbat and the first 90 minutes on all holidays. After that time, if the reserved seat is still not ~ filled, one is required to make the seat immediately available to others as needed. Please do not reserve seats after the times noted above. Your assistance is appreciated.
