Parshas Shemini

The Plag Mincha/Kabbolas Shabbos Minyan will still be upstairs for this week.

The Pirkei Avos Shiur given by the Rov begins this Shabbos, and will take place each week at 6:50 p.m., immediately following Mincha. Please inform your family that you will be staying an extra 15 – 20 minutes after Mincha so they don’t wonder why you are late getting home.

The Rov’s Shiur, “Insights Into The Parsha,” takes place 15 minutes (this week 8:53) before Maariv Motzei Shabbos.

Everyone is invited downstairs after the 9:00 a.m. Davening this week for the Shabbos Mevorchim Kiddush.

Next week Mincha/Maariv is at 8:10 p.m.
Mincha/Maariv will remain upstairs for the next two weeks.

Thank you to everyone for the generous response to the Shul Yizkor Appeal.

The Rov has mentioned that when pledging Tzedakah L’ilui Nishmas, it is brought down to pay the obligation as soon as possible.

Checks can be made out to the Shul and dropped off in the Shul mailbox. Please be sure to write Yizkor Appeal in the memo or on the envelope. We can process your credit card the following four ways:

Rabbi Yitzchok Margareten, Shlita

Rabbi Yitzchok Margareten, is our cherished and revered Mara Di’Asra at Shomre Shabbos. Rabbi Margareten originally took on the role of Menahel Ruchoni in 1992, leading the shabbos hashkama minyan. In June of 2020, Rabbi Margareten was officially installed as Rov of the kehilla.

Rabbi Margareten, a Baltimore native, attended Ner Israel Rabbinical College and studied under many torah giants and personalities such as Reb Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman and his rebbe Reb Yaakov Weinberg. In 1984, after 8 years of Kollel in Ner Israel, Rabbi Margareten moved to Cleveland Heights to take on the 8th grade rebbi position at Mosdos Ohr Hatorah. Rabbi Margareten now currently serves as the Menahel of Yeshiva Derech Hatorah here in Cleveland.

Rabbi Marageten has inspired the Cleveland Heights and surrounding communities to a new level of Torah appreciation through his various classes, shiurim and lectures, including his 4th cycle of Daf Yomi shiurim. He is always available to answer any questions or give hadracha when needed. He can be reached via phone at 216-402-8144 or via email at [email protected].
