The Shmuz of Lakewood will be taking place tonight at K’hal Zichron Yaakov-175 Sunset Road, beginning with Maariv at 9:00 P.M. followed by The Shmuz, on the topic of Sefiras Ha’omer and the countdown to Kabolas Hatorah. The Shmuz founder Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier says “We all know the importance of learning, and we certainly value it in our daily lives. Yet, somehow that sense of significance doesn’t always translate into reality. There may be many days that we don’t learn as much as we can, and if pushed to the wall, all of us would admit that we could be learning more. But we’re not. Why is this? If we claim to truly value Torah, if we admit to its vitality in our lives, how is it that we just don’t seem to be learning as much as we know we can.”

“This explores the true motivations to learn and offers some insightful perspectives on increasing our involvement in learning Torah”.
