Spontaneous shiourim!

It was last Sunday morning, while I was praying in synagogue. As the Jewish community here in Vienna is quite small, even if I don't know everyone, I can recognize easily new faces. This morning there was a new face, an american rabbi type of face. I approach him and bingo, it was a american rabbi, visiting Europe. I asked him when he arrived and when he will leave Vienna. He answered me that he arrived before shabbat and he will leave in the evening. I briefly about Moishe house and told him that we don't get often english speakers in Vienna so that when one is in town we like to take hold of this opportunity and invite him to the Moishe house to have lessons in English. So I asked him if he would come at the moishe house to give a shiour before his train leaves to his next destination, Hungary. At 6pm, This Rabbi was in our house giving a very nice shiour about shavuot; 10 people attented and was a very nice atmosphere. The week before we also had a special guest from Jerusalem visiting Vienna and gave us a beautiful lecture... Who will be our next special guest this coming sunday?? We all look forward to see!

Shalom from Vienna!
