Project AMeN

At this time, when we are currently unable to come together physically as a Kehilla in shul, we would like the whole community to join in a communal learning programme, which will bring us together in a shared Torah endeavour. 

Over the next 2 months, as a community, we would like to jointly complete 'Nach' and 'Shas Mishnayot'. 

This is particularly appropriate now as we start to count the Omer and prepare for Shavuot, the time of the Giving of the Torah. 

We look forward to the time when we are able to return to shul, and together celebrate a communal siyum in honour of our shared Torah achievement.

We have created an online sign-up sheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I4ySirw5pMDXl_W787kA3L1NhZSWJroZT6wP6pT5J1M/edit?usp=sharing where you can sign up to take part in this learning. After you have signed up please email nerprojectamen@gmail.com with contact details so that we can follow up with you on advance of the Siyum.

• Generally we have divided books of Nach and Masechtot of Mishnayot into blocks of 10 Perakim (chapters) but there are also shorter 'chunks' available to sign up for where a masechta or book of Nach is shorter than 10 perakim, or for the final perakim of a book/masechet. 

• There is a separate tab in this online sheet to sign up for Nach and Mishna. 

• We have also included two tabs of 'resources' with links to free websites where you may find translations, summaries or shiurim to help your learning as well as details of some paid resources which may also be of use.

• If you would like to take part in this, but think that you would benefit from a phone chavruta or phone tutor, please email Louise@neryisrael.co.uk to let us know, and we will try to make arrangements. 

• Similarly if you are happy to volunteer as a phone chavruta or tutor please email the above address. 

Please do take a look and sign up for something, putting your name and contact details (if you are happy for these to be visible) into these columns of the sign up form and marking the 'complete' column once you have learnt the material. 

We thank Aron Lovat for compiling the document and resources, and leading on this initiative 

"Amen" is the one word that encapsulates that which we believe and hold tight to. 

Please join Project AMeN, so that together, in Achdut, we complete Mishna and Nach, in preparation for our return, as a community, to our beloved Shul. 

Best wishes,

Rabbi & Rebbetzen Zobin
