Transcript

This Torah class is brought to you by TorahAnytime.com. Rabbeinu Shalom is manig the world. But we need to accept that, and we need to make us as His peoples that He is leading. Avada, the Rabbeinu Shalom is manig the world. They used to say over in Lita a meirdike pshat. What is the idea of shofar? K'dei shetamlichuni aleichem.
