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 Posted by Y.
