After weeks of early morning selichos, two days of commemorating Rosh Hashana, and just completing a full day of fasting and repenting on Yom Kippur – we are all tired! But, before you take that breath to catch up, Succos will be here with so much to do.
Marta and Peter Katz, of Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, decided several years ago to commision a family sefer Torah in honor of Marta’s parents and grandparents.

(Courtesy of Ohr Yisroel) Ohr Yisroel is excited to welcome Rabbi Aharon Ciment to its administrative team as mashgiach ruchani. Rabbi Ciment has been the rabbi of Congregation Arzei Darom since 2004 and currently serves as a rebbe/mashgiach in the Stone Beit Midrash (SBMP) Program at Yeshiva University. In his new role he will present a daily shiur, meet privately with the talmidim and participate in a wide range of informal programs together with the yeshiva.
With the yeshiva’s enrollment approaching 50 talmidim, including the beis midrash program, Rabbi Friedman saw the need to add to their already stellar team of mechanchim. Finding a rabbinic leader who fits with the philosophy of the yeshiva, however, was extremely important to him.
