“After my husband retired, although he continued being a maggid shiur in Talmud Yerushalmi, there was a large portion of his day that was unspoken for,” shares honoree Rabbi Yankel Herskovitz’s wife, Pesi. “It gives me great pleasure to see him have that focus and that interest - and the seforim all over his desk marked off for reference in preparing his Agra D’Pirka shiur. He has such an enjoyment and a zerizus to go and give the shiur and interact with the participants. He gets so much out of it. It’s just been wonderful to see this program take off; it’s a great enhancement for Baltimore.”
