Monday, June 6, 2016 TODAY'S CONTENT Shabbat in Jerusalem: A Day of Rest, Learning and Contemplation Meanwhile, back in New York City The June Outpost is Now Online AFSI Calendar of Events Shabbat in Jerusalem: A Day of Rest, Learning and Contemplation Shabbat, June 4 The group had a restful Shabbat in Yerushalayim, where they were in walking distance to the Great Synagogue, the Kotel, and a host of sites throughout the city. They had the privilege of having lunch with Mrs. Irving Moskowitz and her daughter, Laurie Hirsch, tremendous supporters of Israel and the right of Jews to live anywhere within the Land, especially eastern Jerusalem. With Shabbat in Jerusalem over, Rebbetzin Libby Kahane, widow of Meir and grandmother of Meir Ettinger spoke to the #Chizuk group. They discussed the problems with administrative detention among other topics.  A representative of Honenu, a group that represents Jews unjustly accused and prosecuted, also joined the group.  It was a great way to end a beautiful day on a high note. So much food for thought! Meeting with Rebbetzin Kahane and Honenu Sunday, June 5 - Yom Yerushalayim Sunday morning, Dan Luria of Ateret Cohanim guided the group for a walk through Silwan, the Yemenite Village, and Kidmat Zion. Long time director of Beit Orot, Shlomo Zwickler, led the group for a tour of Beit Orot on Har HaZeitim, the Mount of Olives. The photo below shows several members of the Chizuk group posing against the beautiful Jerusalem landscape at Emek Tzurim on Yom Yerushalayim.

Back to Top Meanwhile, back in New York City, everyone loves a parade! Empire State Building in Blue & White in honor of Yom HaAtzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim The annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday went off without a hitch despite the downpours of rain on and off during the day. Thousands marched, including dozens of groups of Jewish school children, and their energy, enthusiasm and love of Israel were on display. Spectators lined Fifth Avenue cheering them on, showing support for Israel and having fun. The only downside to the day was the cancellation of the yearly Concert in the Park, a happening with great music and a roster of great speakers. Hopefully next year! Enjoying the Parade between the rain drops Love of Israel! Hebron - Home of the Ma'arat HaMachpelah Even Dr. Ruth likes a parade! As does the Mayor!
