Plans for 2019 מרכז קהילתי ע"ש יעקב ברמן Rabbi Jacob Berman Community Center Education committee report (Mechael Kanovsky) The purpose of the Education Committee in a shul that is as highly educated as ours is twofold. The first, is to tap into the expansive pool of multitalented people that the shul is blessed with and utilize those talents to benefit of the members in giving Divrei Torah and shiurim. The second purpose is to augment the shul’s talent by bringing engaging people who can entertain and simultaneously educate the public in their areas of expertise. For both of those purposes, the Education Committee seeks the help of the membership in volunteering to give divrei Torah throughout the year and for both giving shiurim and recommending people to give lectures or be scholars in residence at Berman Shul. מרכז קהילתי ע"ש יעקב ברמן Rabbi Jacob Berman Community Center Education committee report (cont.) The Education Committee would like to thank those that have participated in either giving of themselves or suggesting wonderful people from the outside to enrich us all.
