This article from the Baltimore Jewish Times provides a weekly glimpse into Israel that is not typically covered in the news. It begins with a discussion of the lighting of the Menorah in the Mishkan and the idea that each individual must kindle their own flame in the world. The article then shares a story about a rabbi's visit to Alaska where he discovered a young girl who didn't know she was Jewish. The rabbi used the opportunity to teach her about the significance of lighting Shabbat candles. The article also mentions the celebration of new Olim (individuals and families making Aliyah) from Boca Raton, Florida, and encourages all Jews to consider moving to Israel. It concludes with stories of two special bar mitzvah celebrations and the impact of Soroka University Medical Center on the girls studying at the AMIT Ulpana in Be'er Sheva. The author expresses gratitude to the girls, mothers, and teachers who attended a learning session before Shavuot. [Extracted from the article] |
