ACHDUT IN THE TORAH WORLD
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.

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.
