Kew Gardens Hills Melave Malka – With Rabbi Label Lam
Posted on | January 25, 2006 | By David and Mark | 4 Comments
Rabbi Yitzchak Kirzner zt”l told a story about a man who said that he is ahead of 90% of the world in his Yiddishkeit and when the rest of the world catches up, then he’ll work on growing more. But most committed Jews do not hold by that logic, we want to be a better Jew today than we were yesterday.
Continuing growth is not simple. We have to work on reducing the negative while at the same time always looking to build our positive thoughts, speech and actions. And in every age, it makes sense to use the tools at our disposal, like Beyond Teshuva, to help us grow.
Another great tool is an inspirational Melave Malka. A group of growth oriented Jews getting together to share an evening of food, friends and words of Torah. That’s why we’re extremely excited to be having our first:
Kew Gardens Hills Melave Malka
on Motza’ei Shabbos, Parshas Bo, February 4th at 9:00 PM
at Congregation Ahavas Yisroel – 147-02 73rd Ave.
Admission is $10 per person and we’ll be serving Milchik (ziti, lasagna, eggplant, etc…) so don’t nosh on any cold cuts for Shalosh Seudos.
Rabbi Label Lam is our special guest speaker and the topic is “Increasing Altitude: Continuing on the Growth Path”.
It should be a fantastic evening and, of course, it’s open to Jews of all stripes.
So please reserve the date and RSVP preferably at beyondbt@gmail.com or at (917) 992-xxxx or right here in the comments, so that we can prepare properly.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

My wife Linda and I will be attending.
If you haven’t heard Rabbi Lam, he is one of the most captivating, inspirational and humorous speakers around, so please join us.

Yekkes are still allowed to have cold cuts for Shalosh Seudos! :)

I used to attend Rabbi Lam’s Shabbos shiur when I lived in Monsey several years ago. It was probably the best shiur I’ve attended over the years. He has very clear insight into the life of the BT, and also about the life we left behind. As mentioned before, he has a very captivating style all the while injecting his listeners with a heavy dose of chizuk. We are far geographically but we will try to get there.
