Bullets, Pizza, and Good Bye (The Last Day!!)

The last day of yeshivas kayitz began with a late wake up (7:30 am, you take what you can get), followed by choko, davening and breakfast (in that order). From there we continued on to merkas haeretz (basically means places nearish to Tel Aviv) for The Last Day....

Arms and Arms: תפילין, the 6 Day War, and רבינו תם all in one

As previously mentioned we all had the honor of witnessing a tremendous presentation by our very own Magid Shiur Mendel Weinbaum. The main topic was tefillin, and he marvelously connected it to The Rebbe, The 6 Day War, and even the opposers of mivtzoim. Here are a few snidbits from his presentation.
