Dear Friends,
I hope this note finds you well. I am writing to share with you a special update. BezH I will be representing our Kollel and community next week on a special mission to Israel with a group of Yeshiva University students.
In recent years, my ongoing visits to YU have enabled me to build relationships with students as part of our long-term recruitment process. Several students recently enlisted my support in organizing their Israel mission, as I was one of the student leaders in the last YU student mission to Israel in 2002.
Our cohort of 40 young men and women will spend our time on the ground visiting hospitals, bereaved families and soldiers, in addition to supporting families who have been displaced during the current war. I will be bringing letters and packages to convey support from the members of our Kollel community.
I am in touch with several of our alumni and look forward to connecting with them bezH.
This trip will also enable our local Chicago Kollel community to feel connected on a more personal level to the realities in Israel, as I will share a daily update bezH each day next week to help everyone remained focused on the situation in our holy land.
Please feel welcome to stay in touch, and I'd be glad to take any letters or packages for Chayalim or displaced families. Please deliver them to our home by Motzei Shabbat.
Looking forward to representing all of us and creating a special Kiddush Shem Shamayim.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Reuven Brand
