As an adult, he worked hard to acquire the skills necessary to study Mishnah and otherJewish texts independently and in Chavruta (with a study partner). To honor his memory, the SARAcademy, Conservative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale, and Young Israel Ohab Zedekcommunities will join together to complete the study of the entire Mishnah in time for Matt's first Yahrzeiton August 6, 2012 (18th of Av).Consistent with Matt's inclusive vision, we encourage widespread participation from learners at alllevels. Please sign up on the linked google-doc -- on your own or with a group of others -- to takeresponsibility for learning a tractate of Mishnah in time for the Yahrzeit. If you need help withyour learning, please indicate on the spreadsheet, and we'll connect you with someone who canhelp. Along the way to the Yahrzeit, there will be classes and other learning programs connected to thisproject. The focus of the communal learning programs will be the tractate of Brakhot. So, if you haveno prior experience studying Mishnah, you should still feel welcome to sign up to study Brakhot, as therewill be opportunities to study this tractate at community-wide programs.
