    Class with Yoetzet Rachel Cohen: From Garden Gates to City Walls: Journeys of Exile in Tanach
    Monday, Nov 10th 8:00p to 9:00p
    Exile is one of Tanach’s most enduring themes - but it is never the end of the story. In this three-part series, we will explore three pivotal moments of exile and return: Adam and Chava leaving Gan Eden, Yosef’s descent into Egypt, and Ezra and Nechemia leading the return from Bavel. Each story uncovers another dimension, teaching us how to carry faith through loss, forge identity through challenge, and rebuild with resilience and hope.

    Friday, Nov 14th 7:00p to Motzei Shabbat, Nov 15th 5:00p
    Please join us for a fun-filled Shabbat of learning with Scholar-in-Residence, Rabbi Dov Linzer. Rabbi Dov Linzer is the President and Rosh HaYeshiva of YCT Rabbinical School. Having served as YCT’s Rosh HaYeshiva for over 20 years, Rabbi Linzer became its President in 2019 and assumed both the institutional and Torah-based leadership of YCT. In this dual capacity, Rabbi Linzer has set the vision for YCT as a Center of Torah and Torah Leadership, and, with an amazing team of colleagues and partners, oversees its growth, reach, and further development. An acclaimed Torah and halakha scholar, Rabbi Linzer has been a leading rabbinic voice in the Modern Orthodox community for over 25 years. He has published over 100 teshuvot (responsa) and scholarly Torah articles, and hosts a number of highly popular Torah podcasts. He is co-author, together with Abigail Pogrebin, of It Takes Two To Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses and will soon be coming out with The Rosh Yeshiva Responds, a collection of his scholarly, halakhic teshuvot to the yeshiva’s hundreds of rabbis in-the-field.
