Rav Forshlager Torah Series

Online Session
Next session:
Monday, December 12, 7:30 pm

Join us for a new monthly series as we delve into the life and Torah of Rav Michoel Forshlager. Rav Forshlager, who taught Torah for many years at B'nai Israel, was a unique figure in American Jewry. Practically unknown in his lifetime, his scholarship is making waves across the contemporary Jewish landscape. Join us as we discuss what made him so unique, and the efforts to develop his legacy.

The shiur will be taught by Mr. Pinny Kreizel, a direct descendant of Rav Forshlager, and Rabbi Etan Mintz, the Rabbi at B'nai Israel.

Support the B'nai Israel Annual Campaign

Every year our members and visitors make Yom Kippur and Annual Campaign pledges of financial support. These pledges are crucial to the synagogue's sustainability. This year, your donations are even more important. We hope that we can count on each of you to match what you gave last year, and increase your donation where you can. We thank you in advance for your dedication to our historic synagogue.
