MesilaThe Educational Explanatory Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Service 

AJOP in partnership with Afikim is pleased to offer the Educational Explanatory Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Service machzor to mikarvim at a reduced rate of $5 per volume (+ shipping). Written with explanations from Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf and edited by Rabbi Azriel Burnham, this machzor is sure to enhance and inspire those unfamiliar with the lengthy Yamim Noraim tefillos.   

AJOP, in partnership with Afikim, is initiating an effort to acquire affordable life insurance policies for mikarvim in memory of R' Dovid Winiarz z'l.  As an association we have the ability to acquire policies insuring up to $250,00 for just a small fee annually. To that end, we are asking those interested in participating to fill out a brief survey for us to collect necessary information for the insurance company to create a group. The policies will be for $250,000 for $150 annually with no medical exam necessary. Please CLICK HERE to take the survey.
