[net.religion.jewish] Other Jewish Nets: Ham Discusssions, Telephone Classes

samet@sfmag.UUCP (A.I.Samet) (02/14/85)

Net readers who are also radio hams may be interested in  knowing
that  there  is  a Ham Torah Net called Mesivta D'Rakia (Heavenly
Academy) which meets to study Mishna and  Halacha  on  3.825  Mhz
daily   (except   shabbos)  at 8:30 PM EST. The "Rosh Mesivta" is
Rabbi Yitzchok  Sokol  (KA2B)  in  Lakewood  New   Jersey.    The
radio  dimension    adds   alot  to   the  discussions  which are
usually very friendly  and   stimulating.    There   are   active
and     passive   (no    Ham     license   required  to  recieve)
participants  around  the continent, and some silent listeners in
Russia.    This   has  been going  on  for  several   years   and
features  special   guest appearances  from  Torah  personalities
and festive get-togethers.

Another communications medium for Torah study is  the  telephone.
Dial-a-Daf  programs exist in major cities for studying a page of
Talmud a day at a time.

Rabbi Sokol  (who is also  a  master  technician)  has  installed
various   dial-up  Torah-tape classes in Lakewood, and Dial-a-Daf
equipment in other cities.

Anyone interested in these activities, or in help or  advice   in
setting up ANY type of media classes is invited to contact him:

        Rabbi Yitzchok Sokol    Phone:201-364-3382
        676 9th Street
        Lakewood, NJ
