    Personally I am thrilled that a Gemara class is being offered for women within this venue. I have taught Tanach my whole life and brought in sources from Talmud but never learned it formally even though I always wanted to.
    Thank you, CH Info for posing this and to the organizers of the classes.

    As an out of town shliach teaching JLI for the past 7 years, I am thrilled to read this news.
    A JLI class geared for Anash in CH is a great idea.
    In addition to this, seeing these classes along with the new evening Kollel for men in CH is a heartwarming sight for the home and base of Lubavitch worldwide. It meant a lot to the Rebbe that Lubavitch be known for their learning and vast knowledge in all areas of Torah, both nigleh and nistar etc.
    Please keep posting great news like this, that brings pride to our shechunah and Lubavitch worldwide.
    I look forward to seeing the pictures and news captions of “standing room only”at these events.
