As we enter the first week of learning for the new year, we want to invite those who may not have participated in a while to use this as an opportunity to begin learning with us again. At a time when Am Yisrael is in such need, it is more important than ever that we take things on in the merit of all those fighting for our homeland, both on the battlefield and beyond. We are privileged that this week’s idea on Mishna 5:3 for Shabbat Shuva is written by Rabbi David Katz who is the Dean of Michlelet Mevaseret Yerushalayim (MMY). Rabbi Katz also volunteers as the "Mazkir" for the recently formed "Keneset Forum for Yeshivot and Seminaries for Bnei and Bnot Chutz LaAretz" and works closely with MK Ohad Tal and his team to support and service the needs of this all important demographic. Originally from Teaneck, New Jersey, Rabbi Katz made aliyah in 1989, and lives with his family in Ramat Bet Shemesh. Since becoming connected to the project, Rabbi Katz has become friends with Rabbi Leo Dee. Wishing everybody a Shanah Tovah and Ketiva V’Chatima Tova. Our love and tefillot goes out to everybody in eretz Yisrael - especially on a night like tonight. ❤ 🇮🇱 עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱
