For those of you interested in learning Gemara – the Yeshiva will be studying Mesechet Brachot this zman. If you want to seriously study the Chumash we offer shiurim in both Sefer Shemot and Sefer Bamidbar. And for those of you interested in an in-depth shiur in Halacha we offer classes in Hilchot Brachot and Hilchot Shabbat (in addition to the Taharat HaMishpacha and Women and Halacha shiurim mentioned above). All of these classes are offered at a variety of times throughout the week.

As always, new students can try out WebYeshiva for free with our Free 14 Day Trial (the trial begins on the first day of the term). For those of you already familiar with the Yeshiva you can register right now for the coming zman. Registration enables you to access your class archives for review and use the free 24/6 teacher meishiv hotline (in addition to attending our live, fully interactive shiurim).

We look forward to seeing you in the virtual walls of our Yeshiva!


The Yom Haatzmaut Project

Tzipiyah.com, a relatively new blog with 15 talented writers, has started a new initiative called the Yom Haatzmaut Project. The Project, already reported on Arutz Sheva, asks the bloggers of Tzipiyah.com, and bloggers all around the internet, to list the 4 accomplishments which make them the most proud of the State of Israel. The idea is that while constructive criticism is important, it is also important to look back every so often and get inspired by the positive accomplishments we have had. Through this positive outlook, Tzipiyah.com hopes to gather enough inspiration to re-energize ourselves for, at the very least, another 60 years (and much much more) of successful nation building.

The first few posts have already been posted on Tzipiyah.com (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

Everyone is encouraged to go read them and post their comments. You should also post your comments about the whole project (and you own top 4) on the original post. This original post details the rational behind the project and is a must read for all! http://www.tzipiyah.com/2008/03/big-project-for-israels-60th-birthday.html

If you own a blog, please participate in this project and send a link to your posts to tzipiyah@gmail.com. A special compilation of blogs which participated will be posted on Tzipiyah.com.
