Here in the UK we have just concluded a very meaningful Tisha B'Av, and look forward to the summer break ahead. Our chabura, which began in January, has run for 7.5 months now, covering 24 exalted lessons in 117 shiurim. It has been an incredible journey thus far, and we are super excited to continue. Due to travel and family time, we will be pausing the shiur for the summer break - something like 5 weeks. I won't know the exact date of our continuation until closer to that time, so please stay tuned for updates. (Everyone is highly encouraged to try to use this time for chazara! It's an awesome opportunity to go back and read through everything we've covered thus far!) Rebbe Nachman taught that the redemption depends upon the study of his sefer, Likutei Moharan. In the past half-year, our chabura has certainly brought the geulah closer for ourselves as individuals and for all of Am Yisrael as a whole. Ashreinu! Ashreinu! I am deeply looking forward to picking back up in a few weeks with Torah 25 to supercharge our Elul experience. See you then! Wishing everyone a meaningful, relaxing, rejuvenating, and connected Summer break.  Rabbi Yaakov Klein
