Rabbi Mordecai Tendler Speaking in Israel Next Week

From the Cannonist Blog

Next week:

Harav Mordecai Tendler will be in Israel next week and will be giving a shiur on Thursday July 6th. The shiur will be in English and is open to all. The topic will be:
“Halachik Considerations of Financial Expenditures”

(Tzedaka vs. Household)
We will daven Mincha at 7:00pm; maariv will be after the shiur (around 8:45pm).
The shiur will either be in Beit Shemesh or Yerushalayim – I will send another e-mail with the exact location.
Sincerely,
Moshe Siegel
