Keep Making Aliyah

Keep Making Aliyah

Author: Yishai Fleisher September 2, 2016 Duration: 1:12:48
After the Jewish people came to the Land of Israel they were commanded to "keep making aliyah" - to go up to Jerusalem 3 times a year. Rabbi Yishai Fleisher is reunited with Rabbi Mike Feuer for Spiritual Cafe where they discuss the end of the summer, the passing of Gene Wilder, the Torah portion which includes the laws of kosher and non kosher animals, the searching for the right spot and building of the Temple, and the laws of the false prophet. Reconnect with the Torah portion and the Land of Israel on this weeks exciting program.
