YCT Yom Iyun
This Sunday, September 7, is the day for a pre-holiday study opportunity. Arrangements are in place for study with faculty at Yeshiva Chovevei Torah in Riverdale. The plan is to drive to YCT on Sunday morning, study with two or three rabbinic faculty members, enjoy an early dinner in NYC, and then return to home. There is no fee for this opportunity, though everyone would pay for their own meals. the study is set for 11:30-2:00pm. Please be in touch with Rabbi Adler by e-mail if you are interested.

Taste of Mussar :
Part 2: Preparing for the New Year
Please join us for the next stage of our journey on the path of Mussar, Sunday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Beth David Synagogue, as we begin to explore and practice Mussar in our everyday lives.
The introductory session is purposely designed to coincide with the period preceding Rosh Hashanah known as Selichot and during the month of Elul when soul-searching begins in earnest. The hour-long session is intended to better prepare us not only for the upcoming High Holidays, but also to declare our intentions to make real change or teshuvah in our lives in the new year.
The evening program is envisioned as the kickoff of a nine-month period of study and exploration, using both classic Mussar texts and contemporary interpretations of that body of literature. Over the upcoming year, we will examine key middot (soul or character traits), how they show up in our lives and how we can become better versions of the men and women we have the potential to be.
For more information contact Rabbi Adler at 860-236-1241 or click here or Len Felson at lfelson@gmail.com.

Halachah Highlight
"Shenayim Mikrah v'Echad Targum"
With pride, the Jewish people have accepted being called "The People of the Book". The "book", of course, is Torah (referenced as Old Testament by our neighbors). It is an important value for every Jew to be familiar with these sacred texts. Shulchan Aruch (Orech Chaim 285) codified the weekly study of parsha by recommending that the parsha text be read twice each week along with one commentary. The phrase "Shenayim Mikrah v'Echad Targum" translates literally as 'twice the text and one commentary'. The originally recommended commentary was an Aramaic translation called "Targum Onkeles". Today, there are many options, with Rashi being one of the most common. There are multiple ways of meeting this goal - some people study one aliyah a day (seven aliyot to each parsha and seven days of the week), and some people save parsha study for Shabbat; and some authorities consider the hearing of parsha in shul on Shabbat morning as one of the requisite readings.
