Pre-Passover Workshop for Rabbis

Our Sages instruct that 30 days prior to Passover one is to begin studying the applicable laws. In keeping with this dictum of the Sages- the Barkai Center, in conjunction with the World Union of Orthodox Synagogues and Communities, organized a pre Passover Workshop that brought together over 60 Barkai Rabbis with pulpit rabbis who have made Aliyah from the US and France. The attendees heard lectures about Passover Kashrut from Rabbi Moshe Katz from the Kosharot organization, Rabbi Zev Vitman, the Rabbi of Tnuva Dairy, Jerusalem Chief Sephardic Rabbi and Rishon LeTzion, Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar and Jerusalem Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi Aryeh Stern. A delicious meat dinner was served.

The Barkai Center for Practical Rabbinics aims to improve the fabric of Israeli society by intensively training Israeli rabbis in all aspects of communal rabbinics so that they can lead their communities to a more meaningful connection with Judaism and act as a unifying force in Israeli society.
