Women Undertake Learning to Honor Rebbe’s Birthday

Amidst the frenzied Erev Pesach preparations, a learning campaign was initiated on Yud Alef Nissan in honor of the Rebbe’s birthday. A group of young women decided that they wanted to do something bigger to mark the special new kapital of 120.

They would undertake the goal of inspiring a collective 120 extra hours of learning.

Being that women are balancing a lot on their plate, they decided to make it more feasible for joining by offering 1/2 hour learning commitments to join the collective goal.

“By Erev Shvi’i Shel Pesach, we already had reached 120 1/2 hour commitments,” says Goldie Blank, one of the organizers. “We are hoping that more women will sign up, so that the complete 120 goal will be reached by 28 Nissan.”

Organizers say that the learning campaign was inspired by JEM’s 11 Nissan Collage- where one video shows the Rebbe directly asking that his birthday be honored through an increase in Torah learning.

The idea is really just to honor the Rebbe and learn something extra – be it Halacha, Chassidus etc.

With just a few days away to 28 Nissan, about 90 half-hour learning slots remained to be claimed. Women and girls can sign up to join via the google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-hTjfeJWTG3h2UWvVPD8kKatVyDx1X0e1ipawCw-0Yg/edit?usp=sharing
