JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - March 9 - The WebYeshiva
(http://www.webyeshiva.com) is celebrating the official launch today of its blog (http://blog.webyeshiva.org).  The WebYeshiva Blog is an innovative, online center for Torah learning content.   The WebYeshiva Blog offers readers unique and informative perspectives on Torah-related topics, from renowned rabbis and educators in Jerusalem and around the world.

The WebYeshiva Blog presents a variety of posts daily in audio, video, and text format, and features regular columns such as the weekly Parsha, Haftora, Nach, Business Ethics, Aggada, Jewish Philosophy, and more.  Both WebYeshiva students and teachers also make  regular contributions, and WebYeshiva's Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Brovender posts a video Halacha Yomit every day.
 
"I call the blog my daily Torah appetizer," says  WebYeshiva student Joel Nowicki, "as I start my day with reading and listening to the blog."  Joel, who lives in Poland, is able to have access to Torah learning through WebYeshiva and the WebYeshiva Blog in a geographic
location where very little is available.  "I [also] enjoy the Torah sources attached [to the Parsha Podcast] by Rabbi Brovender, which are very helpful, and this is a rare thing in other Torah sites," he says.

The WebYeshiva Blog is a project of WebYeshiva, the first fully-interactive, online yeshiva and midrasha.  WebYeshiva was initiated by Rabbi Chaim Brovender, a veteran Rosh Yeshiva with over forty years of teaching experience.  It makes serious Torah learning accessible to anyone with internet access.  WebYeshiva can be found at http://www.webyeshiva.org

WebYeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Brovender's innovative new enterprise, opens the doors of the Yeshiva and Midrasha experience to anyone with an internet connection.  Truly unique in the Torah World, WebYeshiva recreates the intellectual and social atmosphere of a real Yeshiva (with a focus on the student's growth in learning abilities). Using cutting edge video conferencing technology, WebYeshiva offers many powerful features that make it a unique learning environment which promises real growth in Torah study for the experienced student or the novice.


WebYeshiva is currently offering two new shiurim in time for Purim and Pesach:


Megillat Esther
Rabbi Yehoshua Geller, Sunday 11 pm Israel time, 4 pm New York time

The story of Megillat Esther is well know by many, yet misunderstood by most.  The true meaning and details of the story are right there in the pesukim, yet they often get overlooked.  This class will go beyond the basics to look at the real meaning of the pesukim and the fascinating background story encoded within them.

Haggada Shel Pesach
Rabbi Yehoshua Geller, Tuesday 8 pm Israel time, 1 pm New York time (beginning February 17th)

 The Pesach Haggada is not just a series of stories and verses strung together - it contains a precise logic and order. Each element is there for a reason and plays a very specific role in the structure and flow of the Haggada.  In this class we will examine all of the particular aspects of the Haggada and try to answer the questions, "why is it there?" and "what does it mean?"  We will also look at the story of Yetziat Mitzraim, and by way of Midrash, attempt to uncover the "behind the scenes" story embedded in the pesukim.
