Letter from Rabbi Joel, July 1st

Every year the Masorti movement recruits and funds a group of university-age students to come and spend a month studying at the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem. The first week of “Kelim” is just coming to a close. This week Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg and I have begun to introduce these wonderfully bright and enthusiastic students to the cultural life of the Beit Midrash, the house of study.
