A women’s shiur dedicated to a special chassidic date – the 5th of Tevet, known as Didan Notzach – took place in the “Menorah Community” youth project of the Dnipro Jewish Community, which is actively developing thanks to the support and efforts of the Zislin family.
At the heart of the gathering was an understanding of the events connected to this date, their historical and spiritual significance, as well as the lessons they carry for contemporary life. The participants spoke about the role of Jewish books as carriers of spiritual heritage, about the place of the Rebbe in the lives of chassidim, about the concept of responsibility for a sacred possession, and about how Jewish tradition combines spiritual values with matters of private property law.
The shiur was conducted by Daniella Listengurt, who structured the conversation in the form of thoughtful and lively study, allowing not only for familiarization with the history of Didan Notzach but also for seeing its relevant and personal meaning applicable to the present day.
“For us, it is important that such shiurim help women not just learn historical facts but also find a living connection to their own lives, to Torah, and to the Rebbe,” says the project co-leader, Esti Zislin. “And for the opportunity to create a space for such deep and serene study, we are sincerely grateful to the Dnipro Jewish Community under the leadership of Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki.”
