Habura at Cong Bais Tefilah of Woodmere To Celebrate Siyum of Sefer Hachinuch

Every Shabbos morning for more than ten years a determined group of ten to fifteen men have been learning the Sefer Hachinuch following the Hashkama Minyan. The Habura is finally about to reach the 613th mitzvah. Years ago, when the participants of the Minyan started to have a weekly Kiddush, the Morah D’Asra of Congregation Bais Tefilah, Rabbi Shaya Richmond, insisted that they learn a Mitzvah from the Sefer Hachinuch each week before the Kiddush. While the Kiddush was not held weekly, the learning was and the Habura has scheduled the Siyum of the Sefer to take place after the 7:15 AM minyan on May 26th, erev Shavous. Each week a different member of the Habura takes the responsibility to lead the learning, a factor which has made the group somewhat unique. Whatever the background of the leader, whether a novice or an experienced learner, all are given the opportunity. The Habura will start a new cycle, learning Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, the second day of Shavuos. All are invited to come and join in the Siyum and to begin a new cycle of learning.

Congregation Bais Tefilah of Woodmere is located at 409 Edward Avenue.
