The end of Vayikra is a reformulation of the Ten Commandments - why here and why in this format?

Kindness in the midst of holiness.
אחינו כל בית ישראל הנתונים בצרה ובשביה המקום ירחם עליהם ויוציאם מצרה לרווחה ומאפילה לאורה משיעבוד לגאולה השתא בעגלא ובזמן קריב. שנשמע בשורות טובות ובמהרה.
The Gush at Sunrise on Masada
After the Destruction of Yerushalayim by the Roman legions, Masada was the refuge of the last survivors.
The Roman legions launched a brutal attack, ultimately capturing the fortress.
Masada is a symbol of the courage - the strength it takes to keep holding steady in isolation and in the face of destruction.
Masada can be translated as 'strong foundation or support':
a symbol of bravery and of freedom - and the resilience of Am Yisrael.

Gush Trip to Poland 2025 (Shacharit in the Shul of Tykocin)
Gush has been traveling to Poland for many years. This is the first year that we are traveling with both Shana Alef AND Shiur Alef Israeli talmidim. We know that having Gush Israeli talmidim on this Journey will profoundly contribute to this shared experience.
