12th Siyum Hashas

Dear Parent, Alumni and friends of Darchei Binah, Only six and half years ago on march 1, 2005, Darchei Binah made a historic journey to Lublin, Poland. There we had the privilege to enter the former home of yeshivas Chachmei lublin where the great visionary rav meir shapiro, was the rosh yeshiva. his promotion of the daf hayomi has changed the face of Judaism forever. on that day we had the merit to conclude the daf hayomi cycle before our entire student body and a minyan of faculty. rabbi ephraim oratz began the new cycle with Gemara brachos and in his remarks addressed the ribbono shel olam with the prayer that he be zoche to finish shas again. On August 1, 2012 darchei binah invites you to join us and rabbi oratz beezras hashem, to be in lublin, Poland once again to recreate the magic moments we experienced then. This is the date when the entire Torah world will once again come together to finish the 12th cycle of the daf hayomi. This time our trip will be open to our family of darchei binah alumni, family and friends. The trip will begin on July 31, 2012 and conclude on august 8, 2012. We plan with G-d’s help to spend shabbos in historic Krakow, as well as visit kevrei Tzaddikim and several seminal holocaust sites such as Treblinka, aushwitz - birkenau, and majdanek. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to daven in the beis midrash of Ger and visit the graves of reb elimelech of lizhensk, rav Chaim soloveitchik, The netziv, sefas emes, the rema, and many more. We are approaching you first before we announce this trip to the public. if you would like to join us on this historic and inspiring journey please email me directly indicating how many people you expect to bring. if you feel there would be interest in your community in joining us for this trip, i am available to speak to any group in your homes or synagogues. as this trip is serving as a major fundraising endeavor for darchei binah and our scholarship fund, a portion of the cost of the trip will be tax deductible. We will be able to furnish those interested with the necessary receipt. We look forward to hearing from you. We also will try to include personal requests when possible to visit certain towns in Poland that may have particular meaning to our participants. This requires early responses to coordinate our trip and make the necessary reservations. darchei binah has provided a life altering eastern european experience for its student body over the past 14 years. our expertise in this area certainly guarantees an unparalleled opportunity for those who will join us this coming august. With best wishes for the new year, Rabbi Shimon Kurland Rabbi Shimon Kurland, dean email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Welcome to Darchei Binah

Above all else, Jerusalem is a city of learning; a city of yeshivot, seminaries, batei medrash and kollelim; a city filled with the voices of young children singing the song of their heritage; a city of homes filled with age worn volumes that bespeak our history and our present. Each year thousands of students arrive in Jerusalem to absorb the timeless message which permeates the very stones of this beloved city.

Darchei Binah Women's School for Advanced Torah Studies opened its doors in Elul 5755/1995 in response to a growing demand in the community for a cohesive vision of Torah instruction for women. Educators, parents and students, searching for an environment of both sanctity and creative fulfillment, provided the inspiration behind the formation of this new . Students coming to Darchei Binah are offered a richly variegated program and are exposed to the foremost educators that Jerusalem can provide. Within this framework, our young women blossom as they begin the path toward becoming our future Nashim V'Emahos BeYisrael.
