Sixth Annual Yarchei Kallah

Last year's Yarchei Kallah:
"The Power of Prayer"
3-5 Av, 5761 / July 23-25, 2001

Last year's Yarchei Kallah had a unique energy to it. There are no lack of reasons: a topic at the core of Judaism and on everyone's minds; an actively participating capacity crowd; dynamic, insightful, well-prepared and interesting lecturers, in addition to good planning and direction that allowed everything to flow extremely smoothly.
