The Old Broadway Synagogue is proud to present two exciting learning opportunities (and breakfast) on alternate Sunday mornings (email us for the exact schedule) following 8:00am Shacharis:
Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Chayes and His Defense of the Tradition
With Rabbi Elie Pollack
Join us for a spirited examination of the writing of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Chayes, one of the leading19th centuries leading defenders of traditional Judaism, as he dives into the sea of rabbinic Judaism to demonstrate its logic, its beauty and its profound spirituality.
R' Elie Pollack grew up in The Detroit area but he now resides in Brooklyn as a kollel member in Torah V'daas. He merited to have a strong relationship with the late Rosh Yeshiva, the venerated R' Yisrael Belsky, in whose Yoreh Deah shiur he studied for the better part of a decade. When he is not studying or teaching, he enjoys public-speaking, writing, and translating. He had released two kuntreisim (pamphlets) regarding teachings of R' Belsky as well as a tribute to Detroit's late kollel pioneer, the beloved R' Moshe Schwab. He also has published two articles The Logic of the Orthodox Dating Sytem (March 2010) and The Downward Spiral of Golus (Dec. 2013) in The Five Towns Jewish Times.
He and his wife have been blessed with five wonderful children.
