BNOT MITZVA - THANK YOU FOR CELEBRATING WITH US - THURSDAY MAY 30TH

The Bat Mitzva Day was held at the Beit Midrash for Women in Migdal Oz as well as at yeshiva, as per our best tradition, for the girls and granddaughters of the graduates who celebrated their bat mitzva this year.

The participants had the opportunity to hear a talk from Rav Meir Nahorai and a shiur from Rabbanit Esti Rosenberg, as well as tour the 'Russian Monastery' under the guidance of Rosh Yeshiva Harav Yaakov Medan.

2 weeks earlier, May 16th, a bar mitzva day was held in the yeshiva, for the children and grandchildren of bogrim who celebrated a bar mitzva this year (did you know that the first bar mitzva day took place 15 years ago!?). Unforunately, due to the war, these days had been postponed for six months. But we were blessed with many Bnei/Bnot Mitzva. It was very exciting to see you all and look forward to next year's celebrations...

Gush Poland Trip 2024

(Click to view)

As difficult as it was to leave Eretz Yisrael during a war - this journey was particularly poignant - connecting us to hundreds of years of Jewish History, Jewish learning and study, and our proud Jewish Heritage - connecting us to the people - both unnamed and known whose burial places are both unnamed and known - who carried the ideas, values and scholarship forward.       

Challenging us to examine who we are, our values, our spirit, our faith and what we stand for -  as a group - and as individuals.

We hope that these photos and video convey the profundity and impact of this journey.

Singing in The Tykocin Shul

On the morning of 24 August 1941, the Germans announced that Jews  in Tykocin should report the next day to the town square. 

On 25 August the Jews were rounded up in the square by the Germans with help from Polish police. The Jewish community was marched to the pits in Łopuchowo forest, and murdered. Yehi zikram barukh.

ACHDUT IN THE TORAH WORLD

The Gerrer Rebbe in Har Etzion

From time to time we are privileged to host leading rabbinic figures in the beit midrash.We were pleased to host the head of the "Penei Menachem" (Ger) yeshiva, Rabbi Shaul Alter Shlit"a. Rabbi Alter gave a talk on the subject of God's providence with reference to contemporary reality. He added words of eulogy for his student Eitan Rosenzweig HY"d, of Yishuv Alon Shevut, who fell in battle on November 22nd.

Rav Ezra Bick, who initiated the meeting, began by talking about the importance of unity and dialogue in the Torah world, especially these days. Rosh Hayeshiva Harav Ya'akov Medan, concluded with words of blessing, and praised Rabbi Alter who continues the tradition of Ger Hasidism for generations, which founded the spiritual world on the basis of scholarship and innovations in Shas.

Gush Shabbaton Nov2023 519

Making the decision to have The Annual Gush Alumni Shabbaton was not easy. It was extremely difficult for Gush Staff to leave Eretz Yisrael at this time. Yet, so many Gush Alumni reached out and so many are under pressure that this Gush Shabbaton felt more important than ever. 

We are a family. 

Sometimes the Home Front is a distance away but being together for Shabbat in thought, prayer and Torah Study is a true blessing. Thanking all those who joined, those who planned and coordinated and  Congregation Bnai Yeshurun for hosting.

This month, we had the zechut of opening another cycle in the Darkaynu program!

The Darkaynu program, in collaboration with Or Torah Stone, is a program that integrates Bnei Chul with special needs into everyday life. These are young men who come to Eretz Israel for a year of study and activity, similar to their peers in the Diaspora. They invest most of their time in study and Torah study in the yeshiva, and at the same time - also in life skills and volunteering and contributing to society. Welcome!

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.

last day of Poland trip 2023 Miechow memorial

"'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."

Wishing Tzeitchem LeShalom to Gush MTA 2021 (talmidim from Australia and South Africa) Their year in The Gush ends now (their summer!) These talmidim arrived in Eretz Yisrael at one of the heights of this pandemic. They spent 14 days in quarantine and entered The Gush Beit Midrash to a closed capsule on 'The Rampah'. Then, they absolutely thrived: lamdut, hatmadah, middot tovot and rising above. With profound respect for their educational and spiritual journey and honoring their commitment to Talmud Torah - they will be missed. Come back and visit soon!

Kol Yehuda sichot on the parshaWe 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>>
