NESTO - Native English Speakin Teen Olim
In this week’s parsha, we witness the birth of the Nation of Israel. One
of the things that kept the Nation together throughout all the
generations, aside from keeping Torah & Mitzvot, was doing G’milut
Chasadim (which, of course, is also part of keeping the Torah).
This week, we tried to integrate the good Midah of G’milut
Chasadim in our activity. We first enjoyed painting ceramics at Kad
VaChomer, and later we went into town together, collected food from
stores, and gave out sandwiches to the poor.
Junior NESTO held its own friendly Color War. The kids
were separated into two teams - Milchig and Fleishig. With hands on their
heads and blue or red bracelets, they competed against each other with
pride. Songs, skits, banners - all in the name of their team.
Congratulations to the winning Milchig team.
We would like to add how proud we are of all the junior
NESTO kids who continue coming to the Pirkei Avot shiur - no matter how
busy they are or how bad the weather is. Kol HaKavod!
That's all from us, Shabbat Shalom

Want to Do a Mitzva?
Contribute (old) dishes, and more to the Israel Center’s Beit Kharkov
Keep-a-Kosher-Kitchen Campaign for Russian Olim.
Many of us come across dishes that will have to be thrown out or made into
planters. Therefore, we’d be very happy to receive any donated dishes,
pots, and old wedding gifts that aren’t in use and are just taking up
extra storage space, because the new Olim have no means to buy new items.
Thank you, Donations can be made to the Israel Center (att. Ahuva)22 Keren
