TIYUL TALK
[1] Final call for the Shabbaton with Rabbi Reuven Aberman - Deadline for registration is NOON on Wednesday, March 21st.
[2] Davening and meals for Shabbat-Erev Pesach (April 6 & 7) Session 1 is Friday night - candle lighting at 5:27pm, Mincha at 5:45pm. The meal will be at 7:00pm. Session 2 is Shabbat morning. Shacharit at 6:30am, meal at approx. 8:15am. The morning meal will be split with benching and a mini-shiur so that we can begin Seuda Shlishit before the end of Chametz-eating time. Each meal will have Chametzdik HaMotzi, but the rest of the food will be Pesachdik. The "pressure" in the morning will be for the second HaMotzi, but the meal itself will be more leisurely. Cost will be $20 p.p. per session. Advance registration only. Geared for families, couples, singles. Call soon; we're filling up.

ONE DAY TIYUL with Barnea Levi Selavan • Tuesday, April 24 •Birthpangs of Conflict • Many people participated in the creation of the State of Israel, and they came from quite different perspectives. Most have heard the story from one - the official government press generally followed the Hagana line and portrayed the Irgun and Lehi as radical destructive groups, and influenced the classic books like O' Jerusalem.
Once Menachem Begin became Prime Minister there was an attempt to change that; and some of us old Betarists always knew "the real story," particularly about the King David Hotel operation.
Yitzchak Shamir is a Lehi man; even fewer people know this approach from the inside.
Today's government is a fascinating mix of "ideologies" (that's a deep problem) and to understand the roots of the people operating together, what binds them and what separates them – this is the perfect TIYUL!
We will go to places that portray the different streams, to places that pull it all together, and raise question that will leave you with much to think about.
There's more! Details to follow...Some special experiences in store
