NESTO Native English-Speaking Teen Olim
Yom Hazikaron was commemorated this past Tuesday night by NESTO while overlooking the walls of the kotel. Rabbi Yehoshua Rubin, Talmud Rebbe and famed musician/poet lead the evening with a series of moving songs, poems, and insights into what it means to be alive, with full dreams overlooking the most sacred city for the Jews, while at the same time, thousands of others, the same age as the kids sitting around him are dead and buried. We remembered those who died while trying to defend the same site that we were sitting upon with respect and gratitude.
We thank Rabbi Rubin was his moving and sightful program, and as a group, join collectively with all members of the Israel in praying for a true peace in Israel, and abroad for all Jews.
As a culmination of two days of Israeli achdut, NESTOers are meeting together this Shabbat at Chashmonaim for our spring
shabbaton. Details of this event will appear next week on these pages.
Our NESTO NOTES, a forum for teen-age poetry, editorials and personal reflections is making its debut this shabbat. Be sure to drop by the Israel Center to pick up a copy.
Shabbat Shalom, and Shalom al Yisrael,
Rabbi Avi, Daniel, and Ilana.
