On Thursday, we held a Bar Mitzvah trip to the Western Wall
to conclude the 'Shahak Le'Bnei Mitzvah' program for 2022,
the Bar Mitzvah program for the secular public,
in collaboration with the Municipality of Modi'in.
This time there were two buses of Bar Mitzvah parents, grandparents
together with the Yeshiva volunteer Tutors,
the Yeshiva program coordinator Matan Planzer
and Jewish Culture Coordinator at the Modiin Municipality, Mrs. Chaya Lederberg.
As usual we left from the amphitheater at the entrance of the town hall
where we held the traditional opening of the trip.
Rabbi Shenvald greeted the boys and their families,
and emphasized the symbolism of the journey from Modi'in to Jerusalem,
and the Western Wall,
and the importance of unity in Israel these days,
and then council member Noga Katz joined in the greeting.
We are already starting to prepare for the new cycle of 5783.
