Jesse @ Lev Hatorah: Gotta write more!

Ok so here is the deal. Every day I am really busy now that I have become involved in different projects, and its just keeps going from when I get up till I go to sleep. Now due to the fact that this is all around Yeshiva if I crash the projects suffer cause I need to keep up the Yeshiva, as thats why i'm yeknow, here. As you have read, I did the carnival, that was a 48 hour miracle. Thank G-d it was very successful and here are some pics from it!

Another project I am working on is called Belev Echad. This is a worldwide hachnasat Sefer Torah at Yeshivat Merkaz Harav, to commemorate the Yartzeight of the students who died in the shooting terrorist attacks a year ago. We are working to have the event be live broadcasted to the world via the internet. This is where I come in. Since the people who are doing the event are in America I am the liaison here in Israel for all the PR work. The website is http://www.blevechad.com/live/ The event is on February 24th and I will update with more info as it gets closer.

Another project I am working on is of course Jcorps. We are gearing up to start a new round of events. As we grow we are working to find new groups to assist. If you know of an organization here in Israel who would benefit from a team of hands on friday morning, ages 18-28, boys and girls, let me know. Either email me or post it in the comments.

I am about to take on another project which is a concert in the community center of Sderot to try and bring visitors to Sderot. More info on that one as I learn it.

Shabbos was good, I was by relatives just outside the old city. I stayed by the Bunins for those of you who know my family. That was fun. One of my Rebbiem from TABC (Rabbi Scott Friedman) came to Israel with 10 guys to look at yeshivos instead of going with their parents. This is a very interesting concept which usually is not done, the school taking some of the seniors to Israel for Yeshiva week. Clever to say the least. There was one kid I was talking to who was still deciding if he wanted to come to Israel at all next year who I talked to for a good while right by the Kotel on Friday night. Hopefully I was able to make an impact on him to really consider coming, and that combined with the trip will make him take the plunge and jump into the fun that is the year abroad.

On Thursday we went to the Latrun Tank Museum, which of course was alot of fun, since I love military stuff. All the tanks that were there have all seen battle, and you can see the tanks that they have used over the years. Wicked cool. I was there about 5 years ago, and they have added a tank or 2 since then. Here are a few shots of me with the tanks.

Ok so this first one is not of the tanks but I love shots like this and I took it there so enjoy!
