About
For those interested to know about me (don’t you hate writing these things?) I live in Johannesburg South africa, working in a large corporate company as a project manager and business/process analyst. I have two kids who have enticed me into keeping a menagerie: many fish, a hamster and a bearded dragon (who despite appearnces is a real sweetie!)
My religious life is full- I study daf yomi, try to study the parshas hashavua with peirush Rashi, peirush Ramban, midrash Tanchuma and midrash Rabbah every week (in that order). I am also working my way through Michtav m’eliyahu (the writings of Rav Dessler zs”l) and Reishit Chochmah (struggling with this one- but its interesting even if it does take me reading everything 6 or 7 times to undertand it!). Aside from that, I am busy with a smichah course through Pirkei Shoshanim (I finished the course on Shabbos but was unable to get to Israel to do the exam, so I restarted it on Hilchos Niddah). I am also the spiritual leader for a small community in Johannesburg- performing the duties of a Rabbi while trying to get them to refrain from calling me Rabbi (something I have only had limited success with- some have stopped, others still call me Rabbi)- so Iam the Ba’al Korei, shalich tsibur and give a couple of shiurim a week- what can I say, they keep me busy!
To contact me privately: allonyoav at yahoo dot com (sorry for the long winded way, just trying to deter too many spam programmes picking it up.)
I can be found on twitter at Twitter- notification of posts here plus other occasional tidbits.
Note: My apologies for the lack of postings recently- I was overwhelmed with the preparing of shiurim and Torah readings for the Yamim Noraim- a Gmar Chatimah Tovah to all
