ONE DAY TIYUL with Barnea Levi Selavan • Tuesday, April 24 •Birthpangs of Conflict • To hear about an event is not the same as the participant retelling it where it happened....

We still live in a generation that can hear firsthand how it was, and we should absorb and pass this legacy on as much as we can. Bring your teenager with you!

We will be granted the opportunity to hear from and talk to one of the Lehi fighters, and see where he fought!

We will be at a key battle site of the Irgun that changed the face of Israel, and see a presentation about their contribution. We hope to hear from an Etzel representative. 

We will see a Hagana presentation and understand their role much better than ever before.

We will see an Israeli armed forces weapons presentation, and appreciate that investment of energy, money and constant thought for our physical well being as we civilians go about our daily lives in the country.

We will then go to a place that will present and draw it all together, and daven a heartfelt mincha.
