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.

  • Tuesday, February 3 was sponsored by Esther and Warren Levie to commemorate the yahrtzeit of Chana bat Aryeh Leib, Chana Podolski, z"l. Grandmother of Devorah Levie (8G), Great Grandmother of Benjamin, Mordechai, Akivah and Daniella Fox, and Chana, Zehava and Menachem Becker.
  • Friday, January 30 was sponsored by Debbi and Mark Silverman to commemorate the 2nd Yahrtzeit of
    Leo Goldschmidt A"H, great-grandfather of Tali, Rachel, Josh & Zachary Safran.
