Sarah and Sol Sacks

Sarah and Sol Sacks valued learning, especially since their own education

was interrupted by the Holocaust! Their children noted that they would be

especially proud to host such a tremendous educational opportunity as the

Elul program at Bnai Torah.

Shabbos September 14, 2019 at Congregation Bnai Torah

As Associate Director of the Cincinnati Community Kollel, Rabbi Chaim Heinemann looks for new ways to enhance the staff’s own learning and create new opportunities for the community to benefit from the Kollel. Every month, more than 100 people from all backgrounds join together for a delicious Sunday morning brunch and an entertaining, informative Torah class led by Rabbi Chaim Heinemann. He is Cincinnati’s Certified Mohel, as well as being a trained Shochet, and he holds ordination from several of Jerusalem’s leading Rabbis. In addition, Rabbi Chaim is the Secretary of the Cincinnati Beis Din. His wife, Sarah Kaila, holds a B.A. in Art and is a Graphic Designer and Computer Instructor at CHDS. The Heinemanns have been with the Kollel since 2011. Rabbi Heinemann has also performed Brissim on several continents and across many states, from the east coast through the Midwest!
