Class description

Hello Everyone,

The title of our session is “Jewelry and Ritual Washing.” We could finish this class in less than 60 seconds by saying “No jewelry.” But there is a lot to be said about Ritual Washing/ נטילת ידים and I hope that the class will be interesting.

I look for ward to meeting with all of you this evening. Our prayers  are with the victims of today’s terror attack in Jerusalem.
