Description

The White Shul - The shiur begins with some thoughts on Tu B'shvat. We then move on to the topic of celebrating birthdays. Is this a concept which has basis in Judaism? Why do we make Bar/Bas Mitzvah celebrations? What should a person do on his 20th Birthday? Is there kares or misah bidei shmayim before 20?
