Fathers Going Back to School

It’s back to school for fathers this summer. The Beis Medrash, an evening learning center for men, located in the Crown Condos (580 Crown Street- Ground Floor) has created a buzz this week as hundreds of letters were mailed out to parents of our local schools, urging fathers to attend these innovative summer shiurim.

On opening night, Wednesday, 4 Tamuz, fathers will choose one of seven of the most talented melamdim to learn the Gemara through their sons eyes. The melamdim have prepared a series of ten shiurim to take place over the course of the summer (see schedule here) during which they will teach the gemara the way they would in the classroom, including worksheets and tests.

“The summer classes will give the fathers a head-start,” explained Rabbi Motty Lipskier, Director of The Beis Medrash, “so that when their sons learn the material they will be prepared and excited to help them review.”

Lipskier also said that these shiurim will be offered to fathers at no cost to them. “The project is being sponsored by an incredibly generous couple from Crown Heights who insisted on remaining anonymous,” he explained.

To receive updates or reminders email: [email protected] or text (347) 620-2063. Let them know which shiur you are interested in and they will send you reminder emails or texts. Reservations are not required but are greatly appreciated so that TBM can prepare adequately.

The Beis Medrash was opened 8 months ago, liulei nishmas Rabbi and Mrs. Motty Lipskier’s cousin, Rabbi Levi Deitsch a”h.
