For the second year in a row, we spent a day with Hashem in Chicago. 26 hard-working men took a day to learn and reconnect. This year we were joined by HaRav Yechezkel Greenberg and HaRav Mordechai Kalatsky as well. We spent the morning delving into the sugya of doing business with non-Kosher food at the Chicago Choshen Mishpat Kollel. Lunch at Shallots Bistro was graced with a Rabbanim’s panel of Rabbis Greenberg and Kalatsky together with HaRav Yaakov Robinson. We discussed many pertinent topics in today’s Jewish life. The afternoon was spent in the Telshe Yeshiva where we had a Q&A session with Dayan Shmuel Fuerst Shlit”a, a seder and shiur in the inyanim of Chanukah with Rav Betzalel Pam, capped with a impactful drasha from Rav Efraim Twerski. We ended the trip with dinner at Evita’s Steakhouse along with some old friends from Minneapolis now living in Chicago, and we were inspired by Rav Yossi Lowinger.
These trips are an incredible way to build cameraderie and a sense of connection to Hashem and His Torah. Stay tuned for the next trip!
