TIYUL TALK
[1] The Shabbaton that took place this past Shabbat was wonderful. The next in-house Shabbaton will be IY"H over Shabbat Parshat Acharei-K'doshim, May 4-5th. Our guest speaker will be Rabbi Emanuel Feldman.More details to come...
[2] Davening and meals for Shabbat-Erev Pesach (April 6 & 7)for those who registered only. Registration is closed.
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. 
[3] Our offer for Second Seder and Yom Tov Sheni meals for students (and others) was not met with sufficient response. We will therefore not be having davening and meals for the second and eighth days of Pesach.
[4] The tiyulim on the next page cover the week before, the week of, and the week after Pesach. That means that the tiyulim are coming up SOON, so call ASAP — not only to reserve your place on the tiyul(im) of your choice, but also to help the tiyulim to take place at all. Each has a minimum number of participants, as indicated below the grid.

ONE DAY TIYUL with
Barnea Levi Selavan
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. 
What a day.
