You are right now
somewhere in Eretz Yisroel,
reading this English-language notice,
and are no longer keeping two days of Yom Tov
(or hoping to get there one day),
living in a Chareidi community of people who never did.
Does that describe you? Good.
You bought into the Israeli Chareidi system here,
lock, stock and barrel – or hook, line and sinker —
OK, maybe not the sinker.
You have a kosher cell phone,
your kids are in the mainstream Israeli mosdos,
and you can even communicate with the Israelis a bit —
in Siddur Hebrew — or better, or getting better.
But! you’re still a bit of an outsider:
The language, the culture, the mentality,
the things you grew up with, and of course —
your unique challenges, that Israelis will never understand.
Your kehillah is great, you wouldn’t trade it for anything,
but still, if only there was also a little corner for people like you,
a comfortable social space in which you can better relate,
connect with others like you and have your challenges addressed —
That would make a world of a difference!
איגוד יוצאי חו”ל בקהילות החרדים, or ‘the Igud’ in short, was established precisely to create that sense of community between us — firstly and secondly (you decide the order):
for our own benefit, and for the benefit of those for whom this will enable to comfortably join us in our Israeli Chareidi kehillos scattered throughout Eretz Yisroel.
Thank you for joining us!

Reprinted with assumed permission.A Tribute to Menachem Polishuk ע”ה
A Lofty Soul Ascends Heavenward…
Teaser:
On Erev Rosh Hashana, Menachem Polishuk, a budding talmid chacham, was niftar at the age of 25. His petirah came as a shock to the many people who knew him, for although he suffered from a liver ailment since birth, he led a remarkably vibrant life. Despite his illness and other yissurim he possessed a genuine simchas hachaim, spending his time immersed in Torah study and joyous avodas Hashem.
Born and raised in New York, Menachem learned at Yeshiva Darchei Torah. His family moved to Eretz Yisrael several years ago and he soon followed suit, joining Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim.
THE MASMID
“All I want to do is learn,” Menachem would tell a rebbe of his. His entire life testified to this profound desire.
When he learned Torah, he was really into it; he was not easily distracted. His eyes glued to the Gemara, his body swaying, he sang the words with a sweetness that made it clear that he truly enjoyed learning. A paradigm of bikush haEmes, he would not rest until he arrived at the true pshat of each sugya.
Menachem placed a tremendous value on time. Beyond the beis medrash, he would seize every opportunity to learn Torah, learning from a sefer during meals and while he waited for an appointment to begin.
