Linda Mitgang

Congregation Beth Shalom is pleased to announce the establishment of the Linda Mitgang, a’h, Learning Initiative.

To launch this exciting initiative, CBS will host the renowned Torah scholar, Rabbi David Fohrman, to observe Linda’s first yahrzeit on Shabbat, October 20. Rabbi Fohrman will be speaking Shabbat morning at 11 a.m., as well as in the afternoon following Minchah at shalosh seudos.

The Mitgang Initiative will be dedicated to providing Beth Sholom’s full array of Torah learning opportunities for all ages and interests. In addition to strengthening their ongoing scholars-in-residence program, classes, shiurim, chaburot, and daf yomi, they are envisioning a new initiative whereby experts in a variety of subjects will offer courses in specific areas, e.g. Jewish history and Israel, medical ethics, spirituality, Tanach, halachah, relationships, etc. Beth Sholom is deeply grateful to Dr. Charles Mitgang and family for their extraordinary generosity to the shul and community.

The Mitgang family felt that this would be an appropriate tribute to their wife and mother, Linda Mitgang, a’h. Linda Mitgang, a’h, was an extraordinary wife and mother. She was an active member of the Beth Sholom and greater Five Towns community for almost 40 years.

Together with her husband, Charlie, she lovingly raised her family with the values of a strong commitment to Torah education. Linda was a very intelligent and growth-oriented person who instilled this value in her children and grandchildren. She loved to read and to learn new things. She enjoyed hearing the rabbi’s weekly derashah and attending shiurim, often with her children. She was so proud to be part of a thriving frum community.
