Torah Learning at Secular High Schools!

Avrechim [married yeshiva students] learning at the Bet El Yeshiva travel once a week, every week, to secular high schools across the country to learn with groups of students who have very little connection to Torah. The idea of the project is to strengthen these students in spirituality and connection to Torah.

Last week, avrechim brought high school students for the first time to Bet El in order to introduce them to Yeshiva life, see a religious yishuv, and deepen the connection between teacher and student.

These avrechim travel every week from Bet El to a wide array of cities and towns, consistently, to learn with students who would otherwise miss the opportunity to learn Torah.

Will the IDF Remain Chametz-Free on Passover?

by Dvir Amar, Besheva, translated by Hillel Fendel

An upcoming Supreme Court decision on the IDF ban on chametz [leaven] in army bases on Passover – and the apparent inclination of the Court to nullify it – has produced an unusual multi-partisan consensus: 45 Knesset Members from parties of both the coalition and opposition are signed on a proposal to anchor the IDF's no-chametz regulations in law.
