30 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE L E V T O R A H A N N O U N C E S G R A N D S I Y U M "Interaction with rabbinical leaders of the Sephardic world from Israel and Brooklyn inspires our boys to learn with enthusiasm, and introduces them to accomplished role models for them to emulate." Yeshivat Lev Torah is thrilled to announce a special community-wide learning program culminating with a festive siyum celebration on Lag Ba’omer. The night of Lag Ba’omer is when the fire of Torahburns as strongas ever. FromMeron to the streets of Brooklyn, and in Jewish communities worldwide, the night of Lag Ba’omer is a time for celebrating our dedication to the learning and teaching of the Torah. While most people celebrate with the symbol of a bonfire, Yeshivat Lev Torah invites the community to join it in celebrating this special occasion through the study of Torah. The 740 pages comprising the Moed section of the Talmud will be studied from now until Lag Ba’omer, with every participant signing up to study the pages of his choice, and learning the material at his own pace. On Lag Ba’omer, all participants will join together to complete the study of their chosen sections, and to then celebrate this glorious achievement and the fire of Torah that continues to burn within the hearts of the Jewish People. The learning, the lighting ceremony, the festive se’udat mitzvah , the music and the dancing will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Community members young and old are invited to take part in this unique project of learning and celebration. The cost for joining is $260. This is a special opportunity for the entire community to join together for the honor of Torah, and to see how much can be achieved when we join hands and each do our share.  To sign up, or for additional information about the program or sponsorship opportunities, please text (646)812-2165 or email levtorahsiyum@ gmail.com . & A Special Lag Ba’omer Event “It’s exciting to spend time with my daughter who is reading Hebrew and English better than her siblings did in the same grade,” another mother said.  Morah Lisa Jrada Chams has exerted extreme efforts to jumpstart Lev Torah’s girls program.
