A Yom Kippur Message to Our Members & ‘Torat Imecha- Women’s Torah Weekly’

The atmosphere of teshuva and introspection intensifies as we near Yom Kippur.  This week, we have many classes on the topic of Teshuva and Yom Kippur, to help you get ready for this special day.  Naaleh.com wants to take this opportunity to wish all of our members a G’mar Chatima Tova, and to ask your forgiveness in case we caused you any loss or frustration in the last year, despite our best efforts to provide only excellent service.

Please take a look at our Torah weekly, the Torat Imecha, click here for the printable version.  This week’s articles focus on the Haftarah of Shabbat Shuva and on some of the tefillot of Yom Kippur.
