The Gush Mission to Poland 2023!
Guided by Rabbi Dr. Shalom Berger (Gush alumnus 1977), the trip is divided between a celebration of the Jewish community, especially Torah Study, in Poland, as well as its tragic end. On the last day of the journey, the group learned about the story of the Miechow community, of which Rav Brin's father, the late R. Moshe Berin, and his ancestors were a part.
"'Behold, I am sending you Eliyahu the prophet and so on, and he will turn the heart of fathers to their children and the heart of children to their fathers.'
We will read these verses this coming Shabbat, Shabbat HaGadol. After a whole week that we have been in Poland, we pray to God for peace in the world. First, peace among us - the Jews. And also peace in the world, without cruelty, evil, killing and murder. We stand here, on the soil of Poland, and want to pray that the world will be more just, with more mercy, and that the evil that was here will evaporate from the world. And we will be blessed, that the coming of Elijah will restore the hearts of fathers to sons and the hearts of sons to their fathers."

We are pleased to announce the publication of the book 'Kol Yehuda' by Moreinu Harav Yehuda Amital, sichot on the weekly parashot. The book was edited by Rav Yaakov Fischer. "There was a simple and great truth in the things he told us, sobriety and wisdom of life. Things came out of the week's parasha, but they always touched our lives, were relevant and illuminating as a doctrine of life, and had full internal coverage. They were said as if to himself. In deep faith the conversations were said and with sincerity, and they fell lovingly on listening ears and thirsty hearts, arousing our trust and faith." (From the editor's introduction) To order>>
