A special Torah study program, "Torat Chaim," is being held during the night of Hoshanah Rabbah, offering participants in-depth religious content and a special budget for refreshments. The program aims to support those who choose to study Torah throughout the night until the morning prayers.
Rabbi Yitzchak Kossovsky-Shor, Director of Communities and Head of the Kahal Center, stated that the content department works year-round to provide engaging study materials, with a focus on current issues relevant to practical life. He emphasized that the goal is to help community members integrate Torah principles into their daily lives.
This year's program specifically delves into the laws concerning the sale of "aliyahs" (honors of being called to read from the Torah) in synagogues. Rabbi Kossovsky-Shor described the synagogue as the "beating heart of the entire community," and noted that the study materials address the practical concerns of synagogue leaders and members, including the treasurer safeguarding funds, long-standing members upholding tradition, and young families establishing their place in the neighborhood.
