Residents of Ariel and the Surrounding Area at a Shiur in the Home of the Gaon

Shuvu Banim in the Capital of the Shomron ○ A Summary from the Shiur

As in every place throughout the Land, in the community of Ariel as well as in the nearby towns in the mountains of the Shomron, there are many students of The Rav shlit"a. Some have drawn close in recent years, and some have been students for many years already. From time to time, some of them gather for uplifting chaburah conversations—strengthening one another in the service of Hashem—and to hear shiurim from the mashpi’im of our community, students of The Rav shlit"a. On Wednesday night, Motzaei the 15th of Av, Parshas Eikev, some of The Rav shlit"a’s students from the city of Ariel and the surrounding area entered the holy, beautiful home of The Rav for a shiur in the innermost sanctity.

The Rav shlit"a opened the shiur with the theme of the 15th of Av and the secret of “the daughters of Israel would go out and dance in the vineyards.” He then spoke about the greatness of dancing, and how David did not pay attention to anything else as he danced with all his might before the Ark of Hashem. The Rav shlit"a also spoke at length about shalom bayis—how much a person must speak beautiful words to his wife, and learn together with her each and every day. In the shiur, the Rav also addressed the halachos of servants from the Rambam.
