 Not all kosher wine is created equal. Recently mentioned in a New York Times article, even observant Jews assume that Kosher means wines made from heavy concord grapes. This couldn’t be any further from the truth. Today’s kosher wines are produced to appeal to the masses. It seems that overnight the kosher wine industry has been transformed, thanks to our many friends in Israel and Europe who distribute their wines to the United States. The majority of these good kosher wines can appeal to many, regardless of whether you are an observant Jew or not. It’s no longer your grandma’s heavy Malaga grape wine (sorry, Grandma). With so much kosher wine being distributed, now the question becomes, where can you shop to find a wide selection of kosher wines, not your standard run of the mill Manishewitz. The answer is Teaneck Wine Cellar located on West Englewood Ave. Teaneck Wine Cellar is kosher wine shop specializing in only kosher wines and spirits. What’s so impressive about the shop is their large selection and knowledge of the kosher wine and spirits industry. The shelves are stocked with even high end kosher wines including Segals, Herzog, Yarden and Dalton. Best of all is that on Thursday evenings there is a wine tasting for your pleasure, presented by knowledgeable wine representatives. Effectively, you can “try” some wine before you “buy” it. After perusing the isles you’ll agree the selection is amazing. You may even walk away from the tasting with a couple of bottles. And if you’re looking for a special bottle, the owner will be glad to assist you. Try it. You’ll like it!

Serious Torah for Serious Learners In addition to our regular classes this coming Winter Semester, WebYeshiva will be offering a new series of "Matmidim" classes, intended for committed students. Four new, daily Gemara classes will be beginning this Winter Semester, which starts October 18th. Based on a vision for a more serious, yeshiva-like focus, WebYeshiva will be offering both beginners and advanced classes in the evenings according to North American time zones, and beginners and advanced classes in the evenings according to European and Israeli time zones. The Matimidim classes will include both standard classes 3-4 times weekly, as well as private student-teacher tutorials on a rotational basis, with the aim of helping dedicated students to deepen their commitment to Torah learning and to progress in their scholarship. Based on the same model, a Matmidim class just for women, in Oral Law, will take place three days a week with additional tutorials. We hope that this new model will encourage students to increase their level of commitment to their learning as much as they are able, and to take advantage of the wealth of resources available to them through our technology and outstanding teachers.

Rabbi Mordecai Scharf in Efrat, Israel runs a special program called Project Nefesh for "at risk" teens and young adults. He and his wife Shoshana, have been taking in these special people for 35 years and giving them an alternative home when parents and/or educational institutions have been unsuccessful in keeping them on a successful life path. These individuals often struggle with social and/or emotional issues-sometimes, but not always, caused by abuse or existing professionally diagnosed conditions. Project Nefesh works with American psychiatrists and psychologists in conjunction with an American-Israeli social worker to provide the best care outside of their parental know-how.
