<p>Our first weeks at <em>Zelmele’s Kloiz </em>had lots of wonderful give and take, and many of us stayed on afterward for exciting discussions. (Which personally, I found quite informative.) <strong>This week (Thu Apr 7<sup>th</sup>) is a great time to join, as we start a new text</strong> — the Vilna Gaon’s Peirush al Kamah Agados, <em>agadah</em> #14!</p>
<p>The story so far (the table may yet grow with the Gra):</p>
