This series of classes is sponsored by Marla and Jack Samuel in honour of two beloved and missed members of the Toronto community: Yitz (Isaac) Kurtz z”l and Isaac Hollander z”l.
Both were gentle, kind, extremely accomplished Talmidei Chachahim and yet, the humblest of men ever to grace our community. May their memories be for a blessing and may we strive to emulate their exemplary midot.
