To our members and friends,
It has been a remarkably productive year for our educational offerings through the Institute for Jewish Ideas an Ideals. For my annual report, please see here https://www.jewishideas.org/article/national-scholar-fifth-year-report.
Here are some upcoming offerings for the summer months:
On June 24-25 (Sunday-Monday), I will give five classes at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah’s annual study days on Bible and Jewish Thought. It will be held at the SAR High School in Riverdale: 503 W 259th St, Bronx, NY. The event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals.

On Shabbat, July 6-7, I will be scholar-in-residence for the Sephardic Community Alliance in Deal, New Jersey.
On Wednesdays, July 11, 18, and 25, from 10:30-11:45 am, I will give a three-part series on the Parashah at Lamdeinu, Teaneck, at Congregation Beth Aaron, 950 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, New Jersey. To register, go to http://www.lamdeinu.org/
This past year, I have worked with the senior administration at Ben Porat Yosef Yeshiva Day School in Paramus, New Jersey on a revolutionary new Tanakh curriculum. They will be rolling out the first phase, for grades 1-3, this coming year. You can read the recent newspaper article by Rabbi Saul Zucker in the Jewish Link of New Jersey at https://www.jewishlinknj.com/features/25472-fluency-and-mastery-beginning-with-foundations
We are coming along beautifully for our special communal programs for the coming year. In my next report, I will post the final schedule. These new programs will take our educational offerings to a much higher level of involvement in the broader Jewish community.
As always, thank you for all of your support, and we will continue to spread our vision to the broader Jewish community.
