Binyamin Magden: (in above folder) On the Technion partnership with Cornell and Binyamin's tour of the Campus on Roosevelt Island on Erev Tu Bishvat. Campus is slated to be completed in 2039! This will make you very proud of Israel. Israel Technion won over 8 other leading Universities worldwide. Israeli Technology leads the way in Technology on Sustainability. Hear all about GEO Thermal Power to warm the campus coming from 400 feet underground. Clean technology. Passive Houses that recycles air and captures heat in winter, solar powering a 26 story high rise building with Thermal wrapping, walls 14 inches thick. Triple windows. Uses 86% less energy than your typical home....

David Kerner on guitar singing Ata Takum (video in above folder) (volume is higher on video than on the audio)
I introduced Jeffery Schwartz esq. who was going to speak about the Zimmerman farm on Itamar in the Shomron. Alon and Baila Zimmerman, friends of mine from our days in Kiryat Arba, started out in Kiryat Arba as singles. Alon was a young Yeshiva Bachur and Baila a young lady engaged to be married originally from Canada. Alon survived the terror attack in Beit Hadassah, but was wounded when 6young Yeshiva students were murdered while singing to the women and children on Fri. night.. They got married in Kiryat Arba and they eventually settled in Itamar, Shomron and purchased hot houses, raised tomatoes and made organic shoe leather and herbs and used bugs to eat bugs so as not to use pesticides. All Organic. (Park Slope Food Coop by wanting to boycott Israel is basically interested in biting the hands that literally feeds their ideology and raison d'etre) They are in the forefront of Organic farming.
Besides raising a large family bli ayin hara, , the Zimmerman's raised chickens in their basement and had goats and worked extremely hard! Their hot houses were demolished following a debilitating snowstorm one Erev Shabbos which cumulated 4 ft of snow. The roofs of the hot houses couldn't sustain the weight of the snow and the hot houses collapsed. Since it was Shabbos they farmers couldn't dismantle the hothouses to save them. The Zimmerman's had to begin anew, and so this time they bought some cows. Jeffery will now take it from here

(Happy Birthday Myriam Gabbay and also to Manis Kerner! Happy Anniversary Pinchus and Rivka Leah!)
The presence of our newlywed couple, my son Pinchus who helped lead the Seder and my daughter in law Rivka Leah really enhanced our Tu Bishvat Seder. Coming from Vancouver, Rivka Leah has an inherent love of Nature and the outdoors. She has acquired in Vancouver unbelievable survivalist skills from her family's love of camping and their not so pashut camping trips. My son Pinchus shares the same birthday as the Arizal, the 5th day of Av, who together with other Kabbalists, lived in Tzfat in the 16th century and wrote the Tu Bishvat Seder. Pinchus always felt an affinity to Tzfat...wonder why...
The participants all brought lots of red and white wine, grapejuice, all kinds of fruits etc. besides the above. Thank you also the Beisses, Moshe's, Aryeh, Shloime, Helen, Fastags, Baila, Michoel, for coming and sharing.... Thank you to all who couldn't make it but were with us in spirit. .
If we get a video from Tamar Adelstein on Flower essence, we will be happy to include it this folder. We are also waiting for Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith to send us a link while they tour the USA visiting Florida and Granberry TX. .
We are happy to present to you the following video created by Rabbi Avi Schwartz in Israel in honor of Tu Bishvat 2018 and all the Olim who are budding and growing in the Holy Land. May Hashem continue to give you much strength. Thank you Janet Young for that lead.
We The Jewish People, Especially In Israel, Happy Tu B'Shevat Rabbi Avi Schwartz -
