    Torah History of St. Louis - "Who's Asking? St. Louis!": Halakhic Questions that Started Here
    Tuesday, Mar 26th 7:00p to 9:00p
    The Halakhic writings of 20th century masters -- R. Moshe Feinstein, R. Ephraim Greenblatt -- don't just provide a Torah answer, they let us know from who, where, and when the question was asked! So... what were St. Louisans asking? We'll explore a number of seminal Halakhic writings that begin with a question from the St. Louis community.
