TUTORING PROGRAM
Would your child benefit from being able to “work together” on what they are studying in school with a mature high school student? Are you busy sometimes the night before your child’s big exam when they could really use someone to sit with and help him or her?
Yeshiva Ohr Simcha of Englewood is proud to offer an innovative tutoring program to the community at large. Boys or girls who would benefit from a tutorial are paired with students from Yeshiva Ohr Simcha, Ma’ayonot, or Bruriah. Rabbi Gidon Lane, Coordinator of Community Development for Yeshiva Ohr Simcha, gives careful attention to evaluating each child and matching him or her with a suitable tutor.
If you are interested in long- or short-term tutoring for your son or daughter, or just to get more information, please contact Rabbi Gidon Lane, Coordinator of Community Development for Yeshiva Ohr Simcha, at (201) 816-1800 ext. 6.
(Although the Yeshiva does not charge for this service, a minimal compensation for the high school student is appropriate.)

ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY JEWISH LAW: THE WHAT AND WHYS
This hour of learning is guided by Rabbi Gidon Lane, Rebbe and
Coordinator of Community Development for Yeshiva Ohr Simcha. Focus is given to issues relevant to the everyday life of the modern Jewish adult. The topics are explored and analyzed from their original sources so that the questions of the why and what of Jewish observance can be clearly answered. The intellectual and spiritual stimuli of the class, combined with some “good friends and good nosh” make for a meaningful and enjoyable hour.
The class is given regularly Monday night between 8:05–9:00 PM at Congregation Ahavath Torah, 240 Broad Avenue in Englewood. During June-August, time and location may vary.
