New Archives for Audio Yerushalmi Shiurim

 I am very grateful to Reb Eli Gurevich for maintaining yerushalmionline.com for so many years.

As in the near future he is "retiring" from serving as a webmaster, he has copied all the shiurim to https://archive.org/details/ygb_yerushalmi.

Archive.org provides several new options for downloading the shiurim individually or in bulk.

And, as I noted in a previous post, I have also begun uploading the audio shiurim in mp4 format (with a static picture) to

New Series! So What's Davening All About Anyway? For Adults, part 1(see links to subsequent parts in the comments)

The priorities of the purpose and the kavannah of davening.

Hint: It's probably not what you thought!

Taken from the Besamim Rosh commentary in the Siddur Otzar HaTefillos. The 14th perek, with which we began, can be found at https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=57995&st=&pgnum=45&hilite=

The original of the picture of Reb Avrohom Elya Kaplan zt"l, and from the same issue, ברכות on the engagement of my grandparents

 From the HaNe'eman dedicated to RAEK's memory,

https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/?a=is&oid=haneemon19290512-01&type=staticpdf&e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7ctxTI--------------1

Clearer than the copy in the sefer.

And, from the same issue,

ברכות on the engagement of my grandparents zt"l.

The third and fourth boxes on the right side, and the second and third boxes on the left side.

(He was also called Berel or Aryeh Leib, besides Dov Yehuda. Long story.)

Wonder Where That Letter Is Today...

I would love to see Reb Elya Meir zt"l's letter to my grandfather zt"l...
