Dear QJC Family,

I hope everyone had a beautiful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah.

I am attaching my Rosh Hashanah Drashas and my Shabbos Shuva Drasha source sheet for those who were not at QJC (or would like to look at them again). Most of the sources from my Shabbos Shuva drasha have English translation or are originally in English.
-Rosh Hashanah Day 1
-Rosh Hashanah Day 2
-Shabbos Shuva

With regard to October 7, please be aware that there an event tomorrow evening at 7:00 PM at Machane Chodosh. Please see the flyer below.

If you would like to watch today's rally at MacDonald Park, organzied by Chava Aronin and Ethan Felder, you can view it here (it begins at the 17:15 mark).

The Jewish Broadcasting Service is featuring two films throughout the week from my yeshiva, Yeshivat Har Etzion. One documents the Yeshiva's experience in the Yom Kippur War, which began 51 years ago today. The other was shown on Tisha B'av at shul and documents the yeshiva's experience on October 7, 2023 and the first several months of the war. You can see the schedule below or at www.jbstv.org.







(I am attaching the usual halachic guide again for anyone who needs.)

Wishing everyone a גמר חתימה טובה,

Judah Kerbel
