SFW at Latrun


SFW paid a visit to Latrun, the strategic hilltop near Sha’alvim overlooking the roads to Yerushalayim and the site of fierce battles throughout Jewish history. From the days of Yehoshua (chap. 10) all the way through to 1967, Latrun has been a part of every major battle. Today, Latrun is the IDF’s Armored Corps Memorial Site and Museum.

At Latrun, we had a very memorable time learning about the various eras of Jewish and world history through the eyes of this beautiful and special place. We also heard some of Rabbi Goldsmith’s memories of his time spent served in the IDF’s Armored Corps.

Rav Waxman at SFW

Rav Ari Waxman, Dean of the Moty Hornstein Overseas Program at Yeshivat Sha’alvim, delivered a very powerful sicha last week entitled “Anticipation: Pre-Requisite for Geulah.” 

In addition to offering his analysis of the Rambam regarding our role in bringing the ultimate redemption, he also read a powerful speech that Former-President of Israel Ezer Weizman delivered to Germany’s congress in 1996. Rav Waxman, with his gift of erudition and eloquence, “completed” and updated President Weizman’s speech for the 2011.
