We wish a hearty Mazal Tov to our wonderful coordinator of activities in the Northern region, Menachem Ostreicher and his wonderful wife Chaya, on the birth of their son Shmuel.  The beautiful Bris held in Ma’a lot, near the Lebanon border, was attended by a nice representation of Ayelet HaShachar activists from throughout the North, and the tireless Rav Aryeh Siroka making a special trip from Modi’in. May they be zocheh to bring him up to Torah, Chuppah and Maasim Tovim.

Mazal Tov as well to the Kochav Lev family of Tzur Hadassah on the marriage of their son Eliezer, may he and his new wife be zocheh to build a Bayis Neeman B’Yisrael together that will bring us all much nachas.

We reach out in sadness to our chaver Rav Yitzchok Davidson on the passing of his father, the well known mechanech, Rav Yair Davidson.  The entire Ayelet HaShachar family joins in wishing you condolences and looks forward to your finding comfort, confident in knowing that your father will be looking down from Shaomayim at the wonderful activity you are accomplishing in Shlomi.

We reach out with sorrow to our chaver Rav Maayan Pilus on the passing of his father.  The entire Ayelet HaShachar family joins in wishing you condolences and looks forward to your finding comfort, confident in knowing that your father will be looking down from Shaomayim at the wonderful activity you are accomplishing in Kibbutz Sedot Yam.

In a bittersweet time, we join the family of Rav Natan Adler זצ"ל in marking the first yahrzeit of his passing.   He played an unforgettable role in establishing the many activities that Ayelet HaShachar now has in Kiryat Tiv’on.  This Wednesday, the 15th of Cheshvan, we will gather in Tiv’on for an evening in his memory.

At the same time, we wish a hearty mazal tov to his Rabbanit Chedva תבלח"א upon the upcoming of her first-born son Shalom, the following Sunday.  May the zechus of having this Simcha help wipe some of the tears during this very emotional time, as the Ayelet HaShachar family joins you and is with you for all of the sadness and joy.

Finally, we extend a welcome to our new chaverim Dovid and Nechama Kfir, who are moving to Tzufim, a yishuv in the western Shomron near Qualqilya.  We wish them much Hatzlacha in spreading the light of Torah in Eretz Yisrael.
