Kedushas Tzion RBS Sukkos Event: Speeches and Press

From Hamodia:

On one page there’s an article about Immanuel, and another article covering the Sukkos event in RBS (you may notice that the captions got mixed up – Rabbi Kamenetsky is on the left, and Rabbi Cadle on the right).

Download (PDF, 279KB)

Thanks to generous sponsors, two videos from the event are now publicly available.

VIDEO! Rabbi Nesanel Cadle – A Kehillah Makes Aliyah
VIDEO! Rabbi Danny Myers – The Function of Straddling Different Torah-Based Worlds in a Polarized Society
Here’s a link to the audio of another two:
Audio – Rabbi Menachem Gold – New Horizons for Anglo Chareidi Aliyah
Audio – Rabbi Yosef Kamenetsky – The First Wave of Anglo Chareidi Olim after the Six-Day War from a Firsthand Perspective, and the Conflicting Opinions About Aliyah Within the Kamenetsky Family
I’m still looking for sponsors to cover the cost of the videographer etc., before making the videos publicly available.
If you may be interested in sponsoring or co-sponsoring one or more of these videos, email me directly, and I’ll share with you a link to the video you may want to sponsor (no commitment necessary).
(Currently available for sponsorship: videos of the speeches of Rabbi Nesanel Cadle, Rabbi Menachem Gold, Rav Yosef Kamenetsky, Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, and Rabbi Danny Myers.)

Shana Tova from Avira D’Eretz Yisroel

Shana Tova,

Kesiva vachasima tovah to all.
אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־ה’ אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ דֹּרֵשׁ אֹתָהּ תָּמִיד עֵינֵי ה’ אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ בָּהּ מֵרֵשִׁית הַשָּׁנָה וְעַד אַחֲרִית שָׁנָה:
So much has been happening in the realm of Anglo-Chareidi aliyah and community development, and we are looking forward to so much more, BE”H.
Here are just some of these developments:
1) The establishment of a ‘Chareidi Desk’ at Nefesh B’Nefesh, manned by one of our own Anglo-Chareidi activists.
2) The establishment of OHA (Operation Home Again), to encourage and assist with community-based aliyah.
3) The establishment of Kehillah – to develop and support infrastructures catering specifically for the Anglo-Charedi community in Israel.
4) A lot of networking and collaboration between relevant groups, organizations, activists, etc.
5) New Anglo kehilla of olim established in Afula this past summer – K’hal Chazon Elimelech.
6) Serious development of the Maale Amos – Lakewood project.
7) Seemingly increased interest on the part of Chareidim from the U.S. to explore the possibility of living in Eretz Yisroel.
(I’ve gotten some calls and emails myself, including through the ADY advertisement in the Newcomers Guide, thanks to the sponsors!)
8) Much progress on my book, to inform and inspire Anglo-Chareidi aliyah –
(Dedication opportunities still exist*, take advantage of this Erev Rosh HaShanah to add
at least one or more copies of the book @ $18 a copy to this year’s mitzvah side of the scale…  here!)
9) And of course, a lot of useful information and constructive discussion on the Avira D’Eretz Yisroel forum.
Wish list:
1) An expanded and updated, publicly available, community-edited and dynamic information database for everything to do with Anglo Chareidi life in Eretz Yisroel and aliyah, including entries on all relevant communities in Eretz Yisroel.
For now we have this – lifeintheland.com – but we need to create a community of dedicated volunteers to continuously update the site with relevant information.
Feel free to add to the wish list. Who knows, maybe someone will make it happen?
Or maybe He will? There seems to be a lot that He’s been doing in recent years to have more Jews come home…
The only question is who He will partner with to make this happen… maybe with you and me?
Shana Tova to all,
Yoel Berman
*All your previous sponsorships of the book count towards dedication opportunities.

Help Put the Conversation About Living in Eretz Yisroel Back on the Table

BE”H, I’m in the process of getting a book published. The goal is to put the conversation about living in Eretz Yisroel back on the table for the wide range of American Chareidim.
“Your articles definitely had a crucial part in our move, and I believe they have that potential for many others as well“ – A.T., Cleveland Afula
“chock full of chizuk from people who have been there/done that and they remind us daily that it can be done successfully… instrumental in moving us closer to our final goal.“ – Yaakov
Please see dedication opportunities for this upcoming book here.
Every copy of the book sponsored has the potential to make a great impact, by providing information & inspiration.
My current goal is to get another 27 copies sponsored for finishing this phase of the publishing process, and then another 143 copies sponsored to cover the next phase as well.
Thank you for supporting this project!
