Chofetz Chayim reprises ‘Spirit’ study program

Congregation Chofetz Chayim’s annual Spirit program will again give Tucson’s Jewish men the opportunity to experience one-on-one or intimate group learning with rabbinical students. Two full weeks of free study sessions will be held this month.

Spirit participants will study with students from Rabbi Israel Becker’s alma mater, The Rabbinical Seminary of America, “and may come once for a taste or every morning and evening if they wish,” says Becker. “All levels from beginner to advanced level scholars are welcome to sharpen their minds and study fascinating topics that the students have prepared or suggest their own topic of interest,” he adds. Sessions may last from 15 minutes to two hours, depending upon the participant’s preference.

Sessions will run Sundays-Fridays, Aug. 7-19, 9:15-11:15 a.m. and 7:30-9:30 p.m. (no evening session on Fridays). For more information, contact Becker at 747-7780 or yzbecker@cox.net.
