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

Shana Tova from Avira D’Eretz Yisroel
Shana Tova,
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 addat 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.
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?
