If you live, pray, shop and generally be around in Rechavia, you can't help recognise those familar faces you see so regularly in shul, in the shops or even at the traffic lights when you are waiting forever for them to change. But you may not know the names and personalities behind these familiar faces. Here's one face that most of us know so well -- but who is this good soul and what lies behind his cheerful exterior? Let him speak for himself and answer these questions for us:
I work in the area, at the local supermarket. The shul's tefillah times make it easier for me to keep learning and davening according to halachah. In my learning I found many ways to express my natural way to connect to people with Torah and avodah. One avenue that was revealed to me from above was the se'udat shlishit on Shabbat.
This arena, if you could call it that, gave me the opportunity to make siyumim and add positive feedback within the shul. I have finished in the neighborhood most of the Talmud and recently completed Seder Nezikin in the shul. You could call this my shalosh se'udot project (Baruch Hashem, it's an ongoing project!) My main goal is to finish the Talmud. I use the Schottenstein ArtScroll and am currently two and a half books away from reaching my goal.
I hope to see you at the Hanassi shalosh se'udot!
