Rabbis Speak

“It is a great matter to participate in this important endeavor.”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah (is) a group of Torah scholars who learn Mishnah or Gemara for those who want to arrange a siyum (completion of a Torah portion)… The greatest honor for a departed individual is to study Torah in his honor, and specifically through this organization, which in addition to Torah study, supports Torah scholars.”

“Anyone who commissions this Society to study mishnayos in the merit of a departed relative, beyond the actual Mishnah study which is very good for the soul of the departed, is conferring additional merit upon the soul, since through this they are upholding Torah scholars.”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah provides an invaluable service for those who have difficulty finding a meaningful yet manageable way to memorialize and bring merit to someone whom they’ve recently lost. The study brings not only merit to the departed, but inspiration to the mourner.”

“Often… family members aren’t capable of learning mishnayos at a crucial time, for many reasons. How wonderful it is that an organization was founded solely for this purpose! I envy the merits and rewards of the founder of this program.”

“Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah is to be praised for placing this important merit within the reach of every family. The Torah study that they arrange will bring comfort to the family and precious merit to the soul of the deceased.”
