He knew that there needed to be a concerted effort to connect individuals and families. Read Article 5) Posted May 17 2010 Out Of The Former USSR: A Yeshiva Brings Students To Israel And To Religion By Gavriel Horan Last week, a quiet revolution took place in the Judean Hills outside Jerusalem. One hundred and twenty parents and children from the Former Soviet Union visited Israel for the first time to participate in a groundbreaking mission. The children, ages 12-14, were all prospective students of Lezion B'rina and its sister school Bat Zion, located in Beitar and Jerusalem, respectively. For nearly 20 years, the Lezion B'rina Institute has been a second home for hundreds of Russian Jewish students who have left their birth land to seek a better future in the Jewish homeland. Read Article 6) Posted Feb 17 2010 Transformation of Ruins: A Gush Katif Wedding By David Wilder Those of you who've been reading my postings over the years might remember my strong bonds to Gush Katif, and particularly to Kfar Darom. Every once in a while, for one reason or another, I find myself flipping through photos that I took, prior to its destruction. It is very difficult to view the pictures; my guts begin churning and sometimes it's even worse. The displacement of so many people, the abandonment of our land, and the catastrophic consequences, culminating in 8,000 rockets fired into Israel, the Gaza War, and of course, the present challenges of Goldstone were so totally unnecessary. All of these results were predicted, time and time again, before the expulsion, but were totally ignored by Sharon and Co. It is still beyond comprehension.

Goldberg The young adult clowns of the Long Island-based charity Lev Leytzan, a medical clowning troupe, returned recently from an 11-day humanitarian mission to Romania and Israel to celebrate Chanukah. Read Article 10) Posted Dec 09 2009 Ashdod... A 'New' City With Ancient Roots By Dvora Waysman Before my daughter Elana and her family went to live in Moshav B'nai Darom, a few miles before Ashdod, we had visited this city just a few times. It tends to get overlooked, in comparison with more glamorous and better-known Israeli cities. Read Article 11) Posted Nov 25 2009 Baseball In Israel? New DVD Tells Unlikely Tale By Elliot Resnick, Jewish Press Staff Reporter "I didn't think it would be so hard," says Larry Baras in "Holy Land Baseball," a documentary about the Israel Baseball League (IBL) just recently released on DVD.

Read Article 14) Posted Oct 21 2009 Mendy Sacho - Designing Fashionable Kapotes By Tova Ross When one thinks of kapotes, the traditional long suit jackets worn by married Lubavitcher chassidim, one doesn't automatically think of the cutting edge of fashion. Yet Mendy Sacho, a 25-year-old Lubavitch tailor in Toronto, Canada, is pushing the garb into the spotlight. Read Article 15) Posted Oct 16 2009 Traveling In Israel With A 12-Year-Old By Ben G.

In fact, Aleh is often confused with another facility with a similar sounding name. But Aleh stands alone in its class. Unlike other places, Aleh accepts children who have no chance of rehabilitation, and all the children receive the same loving care.
