Although we cannot accept any responsibility for the accuracy of the data furnished us, we are most thankful for errors brought to our attention. Please note the following: It is always best to Call before going to a Minyan the first time to confirm the information herein. Minyanim that meet late afternoon often change schedules as the days lengthen. Fast days pose a special problem. Not every Minyan possesses a Sefer Torah, and those that do will often daven earlier Minyanim at Yeshivos and Day Schools often meet only on school days. Similarly, many business Minyanim do not meet on legal holidays. The fact that a shul is listed in this directory does not mean that its mechitzah satisfies all standards. For changes, corrections, or to list additional Minyanim, please contact: Agudath Israel of America Commission on Community Services 42 Broadway, New York, NY 10004 Phone: 212 797-9000 ext. 274 Fax: 646 254-1630 E-Mail: torahprojects@agudathisrael.org We appreciate the efforts of Dr. Bernard Fryshman, who originated this project.

  • The Concept of Leisure As Culture-Dependent–Between Tradition and Modernity
    Cultural and Religious Studies, Nov.-Dec. 2014, Vol.2, No.6, 307-317 doi:10.17265/2328-2177/2014.06.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Concept of Leisure as Culture-dependent–Between Tradition and Modernity Nitza Davidovitch Ariel University, Israel The article deals with the concept of leisure in Israel in terms of time, activity, state of mind, and Jewish values. The purpose of the study is to examine changes in how leisure is conceived in Judaism and the differences in the secular and religious conception of leisure, and the special relationship between leisure, work, and religious obligations and tradition. The study reviews the factors that have shaped the conception of leisure and its developments over time in Jewish religious society in general and in Israel in particular, which is a country with cultural foundations in both tradition and modernity, and one that strives to strike a balance between its multiple commitments to its religious roots and its modern democratic nature. The study proceeds to discuss the implications of such conceptions and developments for the Israeli education system. The article may have practical implications for imparting leisure behaviors, an educational challenge involving people’s attitude to leisure. Keywords: The concept of leisure, culture-dependent, tradition, modernity Introduction Leisure is culture-dependent, and culture determines people’s ethical judgment of leisure. Cultural values and norms dictate to what degree a certain activity is considered legitimate, good or bad, socially acceptable or unacceptable. Different societies and cultures have different attitudes to the legitimization of leisure. For example, some cultures, such as the Protestant (Weber, 2010) or the Jewish worldview (“Man is born to labor” and “Work is the essence of our life”), have a value scale that places work on the highest level, while others recognize leisure as a distinct value and work is considered a means of achieving leisure (Pronovost, 1998; Roberts, 2010; Poel, 2006; Marsden et al., 1982).

To contribute or pledge to American Friends of Netiv Aryeh, please visit http://www.afna.us/donate We try our best to accurately present to you the Rav's words. Accuracy can sometimes get lost in the transition from spoken to written word. We would like to thank HaRav Nebenzahl for allowing us to send you this sicha without his first reviewing it. Although it does expedite matters in getting this sicha out to you, it does mean that if there is anything in the sicha that may not be understood, the fault is with us and not with HaRav Nebenzahl. The Rav asks that his and other Divrei Torah are not read during Tefillah or the Rabbi's sermon. Shabbat Shalom, Nehemiah Klein The Yeshiva would like to express its gratitude to Richard and Anita Grossman for their ongoing support for the Yeshiva in general and specifically our computer center. This enables us to communicate this sicha to you each week - "lehagdil Torah ulehaadira". Given that this past Sunday was the second day of Rosh Hashana, the Rav did not deliver his weekly sicha.

  • Guiding Our Girls in the Three Weeks and Beyond,Masmidei
    Guiding Our Girls in the Three Weeks and Beyond July 30, 2021 No more homework, no more books. Summer is for fun, and Bnos is all about fun with a purpose. The less structured and academic days of summer offer opportunities to reach girls in new ways. During the Three Weeks at the beginning of this year’s vacation, Bnos programming showed girls of all ages how to make a difference during this time. Fast Day Events It’s not enough to make it through a fast day without a headache. We need to help our children tap into the power and potential of the day. With that in mind, Bnos held three call-in events on our recent fast days. On Shiva Asar b’Tamuz, high school girls joined Mrs. Chani Juravel for inspiration to take into the Three Weeks. We always hear about “working on our middos,” but what does that really mean? Mrs. Juravel gave practical tips and strategies. On Tisha b’Av, high school and post-high school girls came on the line when Mrs. Tehila Gailer spoke about the power of tears. Sincere crying unleashes our emotions to supercharge our tefillos. Then girls in grades 2-5 listened to Rabbi Mayer Erps tell a story about improving our middos to make a difference in the lives around us. We had over 1000 participants each time, opening a second line on Tisha b’Av. Clearly, these events are filling a void. Contest Nationally, BBC (Bnos Bikur Cholim) encourages girls to connect with seniors. Since COVID’s onset, seniors are increasingly lonely and isolated.

During Bein Hazmanim, the Yeitzer Hora is much more excited than you are because he has a large pool of “good customers.” He knows that everybody's looking for a vacation, and once you go on vacation, he already has you doing things that are truly unbecoming of Bnei Torah or frum Shomrei Torah U’Mitzvos, and he convinces you that this is part of your vacation. For some of you, he gets you to participate in mixed swimming, whether it's at a hotel in a swimming pool or at a beach and of course he is morei heter that this is “only” your sister-in-law or your cousin, it’s all family.” A Six-Year Old’s Shaila About Mixed Swimming Everytime I think about this challenge, I always remember a wonderful family who was very secular when they grew up and actually thought they were non-Jews, but in reality, they came from a very Chassidic background.
