Welcome+Letter

Dear Principals and Coaches,

The METNY District of United Synagogue will once again be sponsoring our annual Hidon Ha Torah, the regional Torah competition on May 1, 2011. This contest is open to students in the sixth grade in any of our Religious Schools; it gives them the opportunity for in-depth and critical Torah study. Last year we had a wonderful response and we hope that even more schools will participate this year. Each school is allowed up to six students at our final contest; however, we welcome smaller teams of two, three, four, or five students.

While this year’s topic is once again Shemot (Exodus), the study material has changed. It includes Hebrew selections, as well as extended translated excerpts from Rashi. You can review the material by clicking on the "Reading Packet" link to the left. If you would prefer to receive a hard copy, please let us know, and we will mail it to you. METNY thanks Mr. Leonard Wasserman for his help in adding new material for this year’s contest.

We look forward to seeing you at the finals on Sunday, May 1st!

Please feel free to call (212) 533-0800 or email metny@uscj.org with any questions or concerns.

// B’Shalom // ,

Rabbi Charles Savenor District Director METNY USCJ
