DRS MIZRACHI MISSION UPDATE #2

Our next stop was to the Bring Them Home headquarters which shed light on the crucial work being done to advocate for the release of hostages. Led by dedicated individuals, this organization tirelessly pressures and encourages the Israeli government to pursue deals that will bring our fellow Jews home. 

We had the privilege of hearing from former Israel ambassador to Paris, Daniel Schick, who provided insight into the complexities of this delicate situation.

Following Daniel's enlightening discussion, we visited Hostage Square, a makeshift exhibit highlighting the plight of hostages and their families.

We walked through a model Hamas tunnel, and gained a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those held captive. 
However, the most emotional moment came unexpectedly when we encountered Daphna Elyakim, one of the hostages who was released in the first wave of released hostages three months ago.

Seeing her seated next to her own hostage poster was a surreal experience that reinforced the seriousness of the situation. It's difficult to convey the emotions the boys felt us they witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering of our family in Israel. 

Everywhere we turn, the country is adorned with posters of hostages, serving as a constant reminder of the individuals who remain in captivity and the collective determination to bring them home.

DRS MIZRACHI MISSION UPDATE #13

From joyful and inspiring to solemn and somber.  After distributing sandwiches to soldiers as an expression of hakaras hatov for putting their lives on the line defending Medinat Yisroel, we journeyed to Har Herzl to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Visiting Har Herzl is undeniably a moving experience. We witnessed a soldier mourning at the graveside of his recently fallen older brother, and a mother grieving over her son's fresh grave. Connecting with strangers who have passed away isn't always easy, but during our trip, we formed a bond with one particular מת. We visited the grave of the soldier whose piano we heard played atop Mitzpe Yericho just two days prior. After learning about him and experiencing his music, we felt as though we were paying respects to a beloved friend. Additionally, we paid our respects at the grave of Binyamin Airley, whose mother recently addressed us at yeshiva.

Even after visiting Sderot, נתיב העשרה, and חוזר הגלגל, the most intense and meaningful moments were yet to unfold. Our next stop was Tekumah, where the burnt-out cars from October 7th were gathered, each bearing the remnants of lives lost on that tragic day. I remarked to the boys that while our religion celebrates life, our enemies glorify death. We chant “Am Yisroel CHAI!” while they bellow only calls for our death and destruction.  The chilling sight of hundreds of charred vehicles stacked upon one another was a frightening reminder of what happenned on Simchat Torah. I shared with the boys the sanctity our religion places on every aspect of a Jewish body, emphasizing that death doesn't negate life but rather informs the fragility of it. When we encounter death, it is used as a vehicle to inspire us to use our lives wisely and productively, inspiring us to be better. As the boys walked silently amidst the wreckage, they certainly absorbed the gravity of the moment. Following th...

Today was a day filled with profound and meaningful moments, and after a very early start following a long flight, we finally reached Yerushalayim and the Kotel. As we approached this sacred site, we guided the boys in performing kriah, tearing their shirts as a sign of mourning for the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, followed by a special prayer. Our Maariv service at the Kotel was a moving one, allowing each boy to connect with the Hashem in their own personal way during the individual davening time that followed. To conclude the day on a lighter and relaxing note, each boy received a card for dinner at one of the many food establishments in the Rova HaYehudi. It was heartwarming to see many of our alumni studying in various yeshivot, and several boys enjoyed spending time with siblings and family members. Now, we have settled into our lodgings at Kiryat Moriah, where the boys had the opportunity to unwind, get a hot shower, and play some ball. We hope they will have a restful nig...
