Also, I didn’t how to translate “avnei algabish”, referred to below. Check the footnotes for what AI told me about it… super interesting. Enjoy! == Excerpt of a shiur given on 1st […]
They translated the article, explaining more about Leah Zinger, on the ravberland.com site. You can see the full thing HERE. Unless something changed since the article was written in June last year, Leah Zinger had no children of her own, despite being married for many years. That’s part of the reason why she started the […]
Someone in the Shuvu Banim community was killed in a car accident during Chol HaMoed. Her name was Leah Zinger, 36, who died coming back from visiting the Pele Yoetz’s grave in Bulgaria.

It’s from R Hoshea Allen, of the Shoemaker Report, and it adds a whole level of understanding about what the word is really describing, when he talks about withstanding the ‘karpas’, or difficulties. This is how Breslov Torah is, […]
The concluding part of R Berland’s translated remarks. Read part 1 HERE, part 2 HERE and part 3 HERE. Enjoy! == R STERN: Does the Rav want to add something else for the public? R BERLAND: Not really, just that I waited for half an hour, I waited there, in the Breslov yeshiva [in Bnei Brak, […]
