bs"d

Dear Fellow Activist, lover of Eretz Yisroel, amv"sh

There is a fantastic website http://www.yeshabulletin.com. It is growing by leaps and bounds.  A few weeks ago it was getting 5,000 hits a day.  A few days later it was getting 7,000 a day.  I haven't checked the statistics lately.

What makes it so fantastic?

A most attractive feature is "News from Israel" streaming  today's headlines and links from Arutz7 with just a click of the mouse.  In addition, each day one can also access Breaking news items from  YNET News, JPOST and INN NEWS.  No need to visit all these sites independently.   Make Yeshabulletin your home page and it will link you to major news items of the day from multiple online news sources.. 

But most importantly it has the most undiluted, raw authentic news, pictures and videos from the courageous fighters for Eretz Yisroel coming from the heart of Eretz Yisroel within Yesha

Simply go to FIGHT BACK Event Supporting Yesha,FIGHT FOR YESHA featuring:

WIG (Women In Green), co-founders Ruth and Nadia Matar

Committe and Struggle for a Jewish SHDEMA,
The struggle for Beit Hashalom in Hebron
 Photo Essay and Video from Peace House Expulsion
Destruction of the Federman and Tor House,Kiryat Arba/Charsina,
Fantastic video from The Committee to Free Jonathan Pollard,
A survey regarding how the gov't should respond to the capture of Gilad Shalit,
VAT (Victims Against Terror). 

Soon and  forthcoming links to Yesha Rabbanim and Yesha Artists. 

There is social bookmarking as well (like facebook for English speakers and other social networks in different languages).

It's quite amazing how this website has just flown off the roof.

Those that advertise or who are linked to this website are simply phenomenal organizations all dedicated to building Eretz Yisroel.  For example there is a link to Neve Avrahom a Special Ed Center in Kiryat Arba, Director Chaviva Tzachor  and a front page ad for Mishmeret Yesha, Founder Israel Danziger whose presence in YESHA is a lifeline to the residents in Yesha.  Among many other important functions, Mishmeret Yesha trains the first response teams, those that are first to respond on site when G-d forbid there is a terror attack.  Many lives have been saved as a result of this extremely important work. 

I have insider knowledge that YeshaBulletin is planning a newsletter  emphasizing our entitlement of Eretz Yisroel with the spirit of Calev Ben Yefuneh and Yehoshua ben Nun.  It will feature a regular column among others by Nadia Matar and the pioneering work of Women in Green.  It's motto is "Be a Partner with Israel and Don't Part with Israel."

Bli neder I will keep you updated should you wish to subscribe to this exciting new venture! Or better yet, just log in to Yeshabulletin.com regularly and find out from there.

Now I wish to tell you about another fantastic media item.

Attached please find the TZC Newsletter entitled "Israel and the Jewish World".

This is an excellent weekly newsletter circulated in Toronto which I get late Thursday night. I have just recently begun to receive it but I understand it has been circulating in Toronto for many many years.  According to Israel Kaplan, famous for his activism on behalf of Eretz Yisroel in Toronto,  the Torontonians need it as a weekly fix.  They devour it each week. 

This newsletter can be viewed in pdf or html format.  This week's edition, Shabbat Chanukah, Parshat Miketz , is 6 pages long  -  a newly expanded edition up from 4 pages.  This newsletter has a relatively small font so that more can fit on a page. It has no ads or pictures except of a Chanuka Menorah in honor of Shabbat Chanukah. Distribution in Toronto is by dedicated volunteers, running around before Shabbos distributing it to the local shuls. This newsletter is put out by Toronto Zionist Council - Editor Yossi Winter, President TZC, Israel Kaplan VP TZC. 

Please print and read it over Shabbat.  There is up to date news, articles and commentary supporting our entitlement to Eretz Yisroel and the ramifications of the political scene on keeping Our Land.  This kind of reading just  doesn't get into mainstream press.  If you haven't noticed, mainstream press is dominated by left wing politics.

So let us do our own circulation.

Make extra copies and give it to friends and neighbors for eye opening Shabbos reading material. I wish I could say it makes enjoyable Shabbos reading. To be perfectly honest it gets me upset to read what I read. 

I am not a Rav and can not paskin, but if I was, I would paskin, rule halachically, that even though one should refrain from an activity that would detract from his/her Oneg Shabbat, his/her Shabbos enjoyment, when it's a matter of Pikuach Nefesh, a matter concerning life and death for the Jewish people,  it is permitted and even required reading on Shabbat. 

Please let me know your thoughts and share them as well with the most dedicated and most concerned Jews around, residing in Toronto. "Yossi Winter" <tzc@torzc.org>, "Israel Kaplan" <israelkaplan@yahoo.com> and the entire Toronto team.  These Jews exemplify with action and with deed what Rabbi Nachman of Breslov says "Hamokom Sheli Hu Eretz Yisroel. Kol Asher Ani Nosea, Ani Nosea L'Eretz Yisroel".  My place is the Land of Israel and every which way I travel I am traveling towards the Land of Israel.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Chanukah,

Robin
