full schedule of minyanim

Terebelo, teaches a number
of classes
including Daf Yomi, a parsha shiur,
and halachot of upcoming Yomim Tovim.
Ahavas Torah has a 10:00 PM Ma'ariv minyan
Sunday through Thursday nights, excluding Yom Tov and fast days. This has
actually turned out to be somewhat of a Rhawnhurst community minyan
attracting participants from other shuls in the area. It's an option for those
who missed earlier minyanim at their "home" shuls.
There is a wonderful weekly parsha class that has been going on at
Ahavas Torah every Monday between 7:00 and 8:00 pm followed by Ma'ariv
service. If you are looking to increase your knowledge of the weekly Torah
portion, gain more insight into the Torah, and have something to say over at the
Shabbos table this class is for you. It is given by someone who lives
outside of Philadelphia who is very knowledgeable, entertaining, and thought
provoking. The class is open to everyone and is easy to understand. You are sure
to love it.
Another program that is hosted in Ahavas Torah
is the Bnos Agudath Yisroel Shabbos group. They meet
every Shabbos in age appropriate groups where they play games,
hear parsha stories and eat snacks.

A special thing about Lubavitcher Center is that
it can transform itself into many things besides a shul. Before Rosh
Hashanah, the shul becomes a shofar factory in
which thousands of children can make their own shofar. Different shul
members and often bachurim from Crown Heights travel in and visit all the
hospitals in the area and blow shofar for the patients. At Succot time, a "succah
mobile" travels through Philadelphia reaching metropolitan center city. The
large menorah that is displayed in front of the shul at
Chanukah. Before Pesach, the
shul once again transforms into a factory, this time teaching children
how matzos are made for Pesach. Children are encouraged to take
part in the preparation to really understand the processes involved.
