Shabbos of Achdus was Amazing!
Mikor Hachaim joined with shuls from up and down Touhy Avenue on Shabbos Parashas Vayikrah to sing, dance and learn. The shabbos was a true inspiration. A heartful yaasher koach to Efrem Popel and Jerry Latinik for orchestrating the event. All proceeds above costs were donated to the Chicago Chessed Fund to help the area's needy.
The Shabbos M'Ayn Olam Habah was capped with Shlomo Katz playing to over 300 people in a very full Mikor Hachaim on Chase!
Check out the video to see what you missed!

Sometimes Hashem Shows You He's There!
It was our pleasure to welcome Rabbi YY Rubinstein over Shabbos and to hear his words of Torah. Much thanks goes out to Zvi Schayer for heading up this fantastic shabbos of chizuk. We capped the Shabbos with a meleve malka full of song, Torah, and chizuk! Click Here to see Rabbi YY's remarks on recognizing Hashem's presence in your daily life.
Siyum HaShas Inspiration!
Members of Mikor Hachaim enjoyed the ruchnius and expressed kavod for limud hatorah by joining together with thousands of Jews from across the Midwest to celebrate the Siyum Hashas. BIG Yaasher Koach to Zvi Schayer for organizing the Mikor section and to David Kamish for an amazing spread and post-siyum get together to spite the late hour. Thank you as well to Rav Robinson and Rav Raizman for their words of Torah.
At the post-siyum, Mikor was treated to a special address by a Gadol HaDor - HaRav Yitzchok Scheiner! See below for the video and be sure to check back soon when we post pictures from the big day!
