Good Shul in Forest Hills / Good Judaism Classes
« on: June 01, 2008, 01:50:55 PM »
Can you wonderful people advise me of good shuls, good Judaism classes to re-introduce me to Judaism in the Forest Hills area.  I am not orthordox but want a modern (only) orthodox synagogue and place where an older woman can feel comfortable.  Also any books to re-introduce me to the Torah.  I can read Hebrew but will get a refresher course (that is easy to find) but want to understand more of the Jewish philosophy.
thank you so much,

Definitly, go to the Shul in 108 street. Beit Gavriel.
 
    Beth Gavriel Congregation - 66-35 108th Street, Forest Hills 11375

 They have a lot of learning, lectures, events their. Its a very nice shul with many great people. Wednesday nights Rabbi Mizrachi usualy comes. Saturday night they have a video lecture by Rabbi Wallerstein. They have get togethers and events, like the one I went to last sunday which was very good (lecture,comedy, food, dancing, meeting people).
 
 On Shabbat I hear their are many people their (Its a big shul Bli Ayin Hara), so definitly check it out.

 Also when your home you can learn from lectures at www.Torahanytime.com - Very good Rabbi's including Rabbi Mizrachi, Rabbi Wallerstein, Rabbi Ben Haim and much more.

The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)

 Here is the flier to the lecture. Let me know. It would also be a good opportunity to ask around, any questions you have, and askl the people volunteeing their about when you can come in for Shabb-t services, and anything else you need. All the best, let me know how it went.
