A fascinating and thought-provoking cultural tour
Thursday evening (or as it's customary to say in the Haredi world: "Leil Shishi") is a very special time. Everyone is in the midst of preparations for Shabbat, and yeshiva students who stay up all night jump in to eat cholent. The news is always talking about the Haredim, but how well do we really know them? We will talk about the past, present, and future of Haredi society.
