Thanks to a generous grant from the Legacy Heritage Fund, Yeshivat Noam launched our new initiative with the Daughters of Miriam in Clifton, NJ.

Parnes Hayom

 

Parnes Hayom is an opportunity to dedicate a day, a week or a month for Torah study at Yeshivat Noam.  Sponsorships may be in honor of a special individual or occasion, in memory of a dear friend or loved one, a birth, anniversary, birthday, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, graduation, wedding or Yahrzeit.  Parnes Hayom is also a meaningful way to pray for a refuah shleimah, or mark any other significant occasion.  On the specific day of the dedication of learning, the name of the donor, along with the name of those being honored or memorialized, will be posted and announced.
  • Monday, September 29 was sponsored by Limor and Manny Levy in honor of their children Avigayil (4D), Joshua (3C), Sivan (2D), Coby (KA).
  • Wednesday, October 1 was sponsored by Chaim and Lisa Rose for a refuah sheleima for Chaya Gittel Faige Bat Bayla Bluma
