'Torah Nosh and Tales - TNT' is our classic Father-Son learning program which has been around, and enjoyed, for decades.
Boys learn for a half hour with their fathers, friends or alone. Each week features a great speaker from around the community. This year the older boys volunteered to speak for the the first time. The results have been truly inspirational.
The evening concludes with pizza, fries and a great raffle with significant prizes (seforim, gift cards, sports gear and toys).
