Between Religious Experience and Religious Commitment - Five Addresses on Youth in Crisis
by HaRav Yehuda Amital zt"l

In recent years, Religious Zionist youth in Israel have experienced a spiritual upheaval, one that has assumed almost crisis proportions. Exposed to trends in both global culture and Israeli society, they find themselves wavering between extremes: radical individualism vs. community-consciousness; mitzva observance based on commitment and obligation vs. the search for subjective meaning; and religiosity based on knowledge vs. religiosity based on experience. In this booklet, Rav Yehuda Amital, rosh ha-yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion, examines these trends and charts a meaningful path towards confronting the educational challenges of our generation.

This book is temporarily out of print. To read on-line:

The Yeshiva runs on Talmud Torah, Tefilla, Middot Tovot, and Maasim Tovim. These days - we are all working that much harder to keep it all running. We wanted to highlight some 'Ovdei HaYeshiva' starting with Ovdei HaMitbach. These Guys are serving up meals to Yeshiva talmidim, Rabbeim and staff along with Evacuees from Kiriyat Shemone, Refugees from Kfar Maimon, an IDF unit serving in the area, elderly residents of Alon Shevut whose support system have been drafted, and are providing school meals including meals for children whose parents are currently serving and protecting.    
Oh, there are countless extras; one Shabbat, they prepared a Simcha for a Bar Mitzvah Boy - an evacuee from Kiriyat Shemone sheltering safely with his family in the Yeshiva dorms - whose father is currently serving and protecting. Some of them have been drafted and are serving on Emergency Response Teams. They show up in the kitchen and then leave to do their shifts.   All have family who are currently serving and protecting. Thanking them for showing up to work and working hard - every day - during these difficult times - way beyond the call of duty.
