Erev Sukkot is always colored for us by the memory of our talmid, Yoni Jesner HY"D, the incredible young man he was, and the thoughts about what he might have become, and how he surely would have contributed to the world. W remember him with tears and love.
An Incredible Opportunity to Understand
the Tefillot of Yom Kippur
For many, the most difficult part of the יום כיפור davening is the עבודה, also known as אמיץ כח - a long, detailed and intricate description of the process that the כהן גדול would go through on יום כיפור.
After many years of giving his shiur on ליל יום כיפור about אמיץ כח, Rav Pini has published a book which takes the reader through אמיץ כח, bringing the sources (both תורה שבכתב and תורה שבעל פה) for, and giving context to, each and every stage, from beginning to end.

What's Happening in Israel
Visits to Har Etzion by the most elite instructional institution in the IDF - The IDF Command and Staff College ("Pum") - seem to have become a tradition. Brigadier General Commander Noam Tivon explains why: "I consider Rav Medan a leader, an ideological leader, but also a leader who seeks ways to build bridges, and therefore it is so important to hear him."

PROGRAM DETAILS TO LISTEN TO WATCH
Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
There is a chilling symbolism in the death of our alumnus Rabbi Elyashiv Knohl on the 5th of Iyar. Rav Knohl was born a few months after the fall of Gush Etzion, while his father, Dov Knohl, one of the founders of Gush Etzion, was captured by the Jordanians. Rav Knohl merited to take part in the renewal of Gush Etzion post 1967, and among other things, served as the rabbi of Kfar Etzion.
But beyond the national symbolism, Rabbi Elyashiv was both a scholar and a wonderful man, pleasant and welcoming, loving peace and pursuing peace, loved by people and certainly beloved by Hakadosh Baruch Hu. His book "Man and Woman" was a must-have for each couple before their wedding, explaining in detail the halachic foundations between man and wife, in such a way as to suit his Torah greatness and pleasant personality.

"Some people’s Torah is to be found in their books, for others, in their lives,” my late, revered teacher, Rav Yehuda Amital once shared with me.
BACK IN PRINT!!
In this volume, Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein explores the development of the religious personality. He advocates a life centered on the service of God, but recognizes multiple paths to this goal. Acknowledging that both the Jewish value system and human experience are multifaceted, he examines the relevant issues from an unusually wide perspective.
Rabbi Lichtenstein’s essays reflect not only a staunch commitment to Halakha and a firm grounding in rigorous Torah study, but also a deep spirituality, a profound moral sensitivity, and a keen awareness of both the challenges and opportunities of modernity. While being enlightened by Rabbi Lichtenstein’s penetrating analyses and wide-ranging learning, the reader will also be inspired by the beauty of his vision of the religious life.
