Mancunians Utilize Day Off Work for Torah

Today, 22 Teves (25 December),  Beis Menachem of Manchester held their Annual Yom Limmud learning program. Many members of Anash took advantage of the ‘Bank Holiday’ to spend part of their day learning.

The day started early with a Shiur Chassidus on the Ma’amer Vo’ero 5712, given by Rabbi Folly Dubov, one of the Mashpi’im in Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester.

After a leisurely paced Shacharis, Rabbi Leizer Eidelman gave an informal Halacha Shiur whilst everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast served up by R’ Yankel Rosen.

Following breakfast, Rabbi Yossi Chazan spoke on the subject of the connection of the timing of giving shevach and hoda’a to the Aibishter with Emunah.

After a short coffee break, Dayan Avrohom Bookman spoke on “Shibud Mitzrayim – the price for slave labor,” including the issues of contracts of employment in Halacha.

The last speaker of the program was Rabbi Hillel Royde of the Manchester Beis Din’s Kashrus Division, who spoke about “Kashrus Issues in Manufactured Foods.” He spoke about the issues that can arise with additives to foods to aid the manufacturing process, and answered many questions posed by members of the audience.

The program concluded with Mincha.
