Rebbetzin Hadassa Carlebach Shloshim Memorial

Join us as close friends and family share memories and honor the many years of service and love that Rebbetzin Hadassa gave to our community and to her family. Since the early 1980s, Rebbetzin Hadassa was an integral part of the Carlebach Shul community. Together with her husband, Reb Eli Chaim, she created an atmosphere of Chassidic warmth and care in the Shul. Walking in felt like stepping back into the shtetl: Reb Eli Chaim telling over words of Torah alongside stories of the great Chassidic masters, and Rebbetzin Hadassa tending to everyone's spiritual and physical well-being. This was not a job; it was her calling. Over the years she not only fed the thousands who came through the doors but also served as the Shul's Executive Director during critical times. Her work enabled the Shul, in 1992, to purchase the building it had rented for many years. She brought order to a space where creativity could easily have led to chaos, with a nurturing attitude that always felt personal. Her presence elevated every occasion. She leaves behind a beautiful legacy: her wonderful daughters Sterna, Sheina, Billie, Freyda, and Esty, and their families - grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She is also the grandmother of Rabbi Naftali Citron, Rabbi of the Carlebach Shul. She was deeply devoted to her family, remaining intimately involved in the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, offering each generation her love, wisdom, guidance, and unwavering presence. Drawing on her extraordinary experiences during the Holocaust, when she courageously helped hide Jewish orphans from the Nazis, she mentored many students, sharing not only the lessons of survival but also a lifelong commitment to courage, faith, and responsibility for others.

Sunday – Thursday Online Daf Yomi

The nightly daf yomi class will be online only. Please email [email protected] for login details. The Schedule  9:20 pm - 9:20 pm Class Begins  10:00 pm - 10:00 pm Class Ends Daf Yomi (Hebrew: דף יומי‎, Daf Yomi, “page of the day” or “daily folio”) is a daily regimen of learning the Oral Torah and its commentaries (also known as the Gemara), in which each of the 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud are covered in sequence. Under this regimen, the entire Talmud is completed, one day at a time, in a cycle of seven and a half years. Tens of thousands of Jews worldwide study in the Daf Yomi program and over 300,000 participate in the Siyum HaShas, an event celebrating the culmination of the cycle of learning. The Daf Yomi program has been credited with making Talmud study accessible to Jews who are not Torah scholars, contributing to Jewish continuity after the Holocaust, and having a unifying factor among Jews.

Sunday – Thursday 10:00 PM Maariv

The Schedule 10:00 pm - 10:00 pm Start 10:15 pm - 10:15 pm End Maariv or Ma’ariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב, ), also known as Arvit (Hebrew: עַרְבִית, ), is a Jewish prayer service held in the evening or night. It consists primarily of the evening Shema and Amidah. The service usually begins with two verses from Psalms, followed by the communal recitation of Barechu. The three paragraphs of the Shema are then said, both preceded and followed by two blessings, although sometimes a fifth blessing is added at the end. The hazzan (leader) then recites half-Kaddish. The Amidah is said quietly by everyone, and, unlike at the other services, is not repeated by the hazzan. He recites the full Kaddish, Aleinu is recited, and the mourners’ Kaddish ends the service. Other prayers occasionally added include the Counting of the Omer (between Passover and Shavuot) and Psalm 27 (between the first of Elul and the end of Sukkot). Maariv is generally recited after sunset. However, it may be recited as early as one and a quarter seasonal hours before sunset. This is common only on Friday nights, in order to begin Shabbat earlier. At the conclusion of Shabbat and holidays, the service is usually delayed until nightfall. While Maariv should be prayed before midnight, it may be recited until daybreak or even sunrise. Interested in sponsoring/Donating?
