Yagdil Torah … What Is Your IQ?

What is your IQ? Don’t worry, no one will measure. This Monday, in honor of Lag B’Omer, Yagdil Torah’s Beis Midrash will host a Meivin Dovor M’toch Dovor program, which allows you to challenge your brain (and avoid rusting) while benefiting from superior learning. The program puts you in the seat of the Rov where you get a question which you need to find the answer to. Carefully selected texts from Shas, Rishonim and Acharonim will be available for your learning, analysis and descision. Next week iy”h there will be a short shiur which will wrap it up with a positive answer to the questions.
