Thanks to Rabbi Joel Cohn, former principal of SAR who now resides and teaches in the IsraEd remote learning program in Israel, and to Zoom, seven local yeshivot combined the power of prayer with sheer numbers to support Ukraine.
Teaneck s Charlie Breda, 13, A Daf Yomi Maggid Shiur By Shira Kosowsky | March 03, 2021
In recent years, and especially since the ubiquity of the word “quarantine” became pervasive in the modern lexicon, there has been a huge rise in the use of technology to spread Torah. Charlie Breda, 13, a seventh grader from Yeshivat Noam, is one such lomed (learner) of Torah.
Charlie has been giving a daily Daf Yomi shiur to friends via Zoom. Last January, Charlie was inspired when he attended the Siyum HaShas with his father and brother. The three of them launched enthusiastically into the new Daf Yomi cycle. Initially, they all listened to shiurim from Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz on the Orthodox Union’s All Daf app and would discuss it together at meals and over Shabbos. Charlie really enjoyed Masechet Brachot, so he decided to continue into Eruvin.
