This year’s Rudoff memorial shiur will explore parallels between the “Three Weeks” of Bein HaMetzarim and the “Three Weeks” between Rosh HaShana and Shemini Atzeret. We will explore sources in Tanach, Talmud, Parshanut and Chassidut to provide light and inspiration as we reflect on messages of Oct. 7, nearly two years later.
