Tanakh
Tamid
by Rav Ezra Bick
If the Jew turns himself into a permanent servant of God, he returns himself not to the tent of meeting, a place of rapturous communion, but to Mt. Sinai, the scene where the Jews accepted God's law. The sacrifices make the moment of Sinai into a permanent one, a continual one.

Rabbi Dr. Yonatan Grossman (Hesder, Machzor 21), a Yeshivat Har Etzion alumnus, is one of Israel's brightest young Bible scholars.

His approach is on the one hand intellectually rigorous and on the other hand spiritually uplifting. Dr. Grossman, earned his M.A. in Jewish Philosophy from Hebrew University (1997) and his PhD in Bible from Bar-Ilan University (2006). He is a senior lecturer at the Department of Bible, Bar-Ilan University and at the Department of Bible, Herzog College. Dr. Grossman is currently writing a new commentary of the Chumash ('The Noam Series'). In addition to the new publication 'Abraham - A Story of a Journey' (Yediot Sfarim), Dr. Grossman is also the author of 'Esther -The Outer Narrative and the Hidden Reading' (Eisenbruans).

Rosh Yeshiva, HaRav Yaacov Medan visiting Gush Isuf Kravi soldiers.
The Combat Intelligence Collection Corps is the newest of the IDF GOC Army Headquarters' five corps. They are tasked with collecting combat intelligence and maintaining observation networks.
Army visits need to be coordinated through IDF command. When the commanding officer received a request for a visit from HaRav Medan, he asked that the Rosh Yeshiva speak with the entire battalion!
What opportunities are there for special-needs high school graduates who also want to have a year in Israel - and a fulfilling life after that?
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."
Chodesh Adar Sameach!
