The Shabbat Table: Friday Night Rituals Explained
In this one-of- a-kind seminar, we will explore the history and the meaning behind
some of the most time-honored Shabbat traditions that take place around the
Shabbat table. Why do we sing “Shalom Aleichem” and where does this custom
come from? Why do we refrain from speaking between washing our hands and
making “Motzi”? Why do we have two challot, and why do we cover them up
when we make Kiddush? What are the laws of Kiddush, anyway? If you are
interested in learning about all of the wonderful rituals that make the Shabbat
table complete, you won’t want to miss out on this unique seminar which is just
as informative for beginners as it is for the most advanced. So, join Rabbi Dan for
a learning experience that will not only enhance your knowledge, but your
Shabbat experience as well, as together we set the Shabbat table.

Shabbat with Rav Moshe

Rav Moshe Feinstein z"l was one of the greatest halakhic minds of the twentieth century. His incredibly creative and important chiddushim (innovations) in Jewish law enabled Orthodox Judaism in North America and elsewhere to grapple with and better understand an ever-changing world, while at the same time, remain faithful to torah and tradition. However, Rav Moshe was not only a remarkable posek (legal decisor), he was also a brilliantly gifted darshan (preacher). Join R. Dan on Shabbat afternoons at CTI for in informal study group, which is open to all, we will explore Rav Moshe's insights on the Parshat HaShavua. 

Every shabbat during the summer at 7 PM at CTI. For questions, contact rabbidan@tiferetaustin.org, 512-410-0336 ex. 101.
