Shiurim v’Siyurim - Shiloh and Psagot



In our latest chapter of our continuing Shiurim v’Siyurim Program, we walked this week “In Search of the Shechinah” by walking in the footsteps of Shmuel Hanavi.

We visited Shiloh, the “temporary” sight of the Mishkan (for almost 400 years!) and learned about the centrality of the Mishkan in those days and the transition to the Beit Hammikdash in Yerushalayim.

We also went to Psagot where we learned about the significance of the geographic position of Shevet Binyamin. We also visited the Nachalat Binyamin Visitors Center (click here) located on the main road between Jerusalem and Shiloh.

Our siyur was led by the newest addition to the SFW staff, Mrs. Shani Taragin. Shani, who is known for her superlative teaching of Tanach, is equally successful in teaching in the “wall-less” classroom of the great outdoors of Eretz Yisrael!

SFW Israeli Alumni Melava Malka




This past Motzaei Shabbat, we had a Melave Malka for SFW alumni who live in Israel. The Melave Malka took place at the home of Tali (Abell) Wogerlernter (SFW '07, '08) and was organized by Esti Arfe (SFW '07) and Tali.


We saw representatives from every year of SFW's wonderful alumni. 

The event was a wonderful way to reconnect with SFW Alumni who made aliyah either directly after studying at SFW or afterwards (some with their husbands and children!). It was great to see everyone, catch up, learn Torah and shmooze!


If you have not been getting our "SFW Alumni in Israel" emails, please email us at sfwisraelalumni@gmail.com!


We look forward to many other events like these in the future!
