Elul and Innovations at Oz veGaon – MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
Dear Friends
Elul is teeming with life at Oz veGaon – There is nothing like nature and the forest to open the soul and to get you into the mood of Elul. The King is not only in the field, He is also among the branches of the forest that was restored in memory of Gil-ad, Eyal and Naftali, Hy"d. Many groups of youths are coming during this period, almost every day, for learning, prayer and to work the ground. (See the attached photos)
This past week Oz veGaon has seen:
- 420 students from the Even Shmuel Ulpana lifted the forest with their spirited song
- 140 bar mitzvah students from Beit El marched toward maturity in the paths of Oz veGaon
- Artillery officers of the Keren Battalion rode their bicycles to the forest where they ate and listened to a lecture
- Heads of B'nei Akiva educational institutions held a one-day seminar at the preserve
- About 100 yeshiva students from Beit Shemesh came to pray and hear a lecture
All left loaded with new strength for the approaching New Year
In the coming days, b"H, we will send you the full schedule of wonderful and uplifting Friday lectures at Oz veGaon, starting, b"H, on Friday, the 26th of Tishrei, October 28th.
Details about the Rosh Hashana davening in oz veGaon will be sent to you too within a day or two please G-d.
Meanwhile, we would like to tell you about something new and exciting at Oz veGaon – b"H, we will send you the brochure with all of the details soon: Tell family and friends:
NEW!!!!
The "Havruta" Beit Midrash for Women at Oz veGaon
Let's study נ"ך
the Prophets and the Writings together!
Our hearts yearn for continual renewal, for continual, perpetual renewal because this is the nature of the soul – it should flow like a river
(Rav A.I. Kook)
The sound of Torah – we want it to be heard in Oz veGaon!
The sound of Torah – connecting to the soul, to the Land of Israel, to the People of Israel
The sound of Torah – speaks to everyone,
The sound of Torah – in its varied keys, which ascends heavenward in strong harmony.
The idea began to take root ever since we first went up to Oz veGaon. The original beit midrash was begun by Rav Baruch Efrati during the first summer. It was brimming with lessons.
The first winter was difficult - it was bitter cold, but the dream continued to take root. Thanks to the Gush Etzion Council, the matter of electricity was dealt with afterward.
Lessons and lectures organized by Women in Green have been held on Fridays during the entire period and will continue this coming year too please G-d. They deal, for the most part, with current events; and now, with the approach of another winter, the addition of a beit midrash for women is becoming a reality.
We have chosen to study the Prophets and Writings. While most of us have studied Torah, mainly through the weekly Torah portion, many of us have not yet studied the books of the Prophets and the Writings.
The lecturers are delightful; they are scholars with much knowledge and experience, reflecting the diversity of the various streams that exist within religious Zionism.
Take a Tuesday morning break for yourself - fill your spiritual batteries and take part in a Zionist act by augmenting the vital Jewish presence at Oz veGaon – Let's get started!
The lessons are suitable for all women and will be in Hebrew.
The beit midrash will be held on Tuesday mornings at 9:00. Each session will be 45 minutes. There will be a fifteen-minute break for light refreshments. Four sessions.
Price: for one semester (14 mornings): 250 nis. For one morning: 25nis
The books that we will learn this year are: Joshua, Judges, Shmuel, Kings, Jeremiah, Amos, Hosea, Job, Proverbs, Psalms, Ezra and Nehemiah and the Scroll of Esther.
The lecturers are:
Rav David Nativ, Rav Haim Dynowisz,Rav Mor Bergman,
Rav Gershon Kitzes, Roni Akrish,Prof. Yisrael Rosenson
Nurit Gael-dor,Rabbanit Adina Feirman
Shiurim can be dedicated in memory or in honor of loved ones. Contact us for details.
IN ADDITION: For the Holidays!
7 early evening Lectures for the general public with
Rav Dov Zinger and Raheli Frenkel
The lectures will be held, b"H, on the following dates, on the eve of chagim:
Tuesday, November 8th
Tuesday, December 20th
Tuesday, January 31st
Tuesday, February 28th
Tuesday, March 28th
Tuesday, May 23rd

Details will be sent to you soon.

Jews for Trump' Applaud Candidate's Praise of Israeli Profiling Techniques
by JNS.org

JNS.org — A Jewish group supporting Donald Trump's campaign for the US presidency defended the Republican candidate's praise for Israel's use of profiling to prevent terrorist attacks.
"Rather than being concerned with political correctness, our government needs to be concerned number one with our safety," said Richard Allen, the New York director of Jews Choose Trump.
The group was referring to a Fox News interview on September 19 in which Trump said, "As you know in Israel they profile, they've done an unbelievable job — as good as you can do. They see somebody who's suspicious, they profile, they will take that person and they'll check him out."
Allen welcomed Trump's statement, saying, "As Jews, we are prime targets of radical Islamic terrorism around the globe, and we need extreme vetting to prevent terrorist attacks within and abroad." Allen added that he views Donald Trump as "the only candidate in this race who will keep us and the entire nation safe and root out terrorism."
Carol Greenwald, chairman of Jews Choose Trump, founded the group with Allen in order to counter accusations that Trump was antisemitic and offer a voice to those in the Jewish community who support him.

Fwd: HaAretz on Administrative Detention
Lawyers of the suspects in politically motivated crimes assert that the Shin Bet is denying legal counsel to their clients as a matter of course.

"They take you to a kind of basement, with dark, small cells. They don't tell you what you are suspected of," A. told Haaretz. "Afterward, they take me upstairs, blindfold me and take me to the interrogation room. They tie me behind my back to a chair. And then a Shin Bet interrogator sits across from me, lowers the blindfold and tells me: 'As you understand, you are under Shin Bet interrogation. You will receive medications. You can shower, but we can prevent you if we want. There is usually a chance of consulting with a lawyer, but we decided not to give you that opportunity."
Dvir Kariv, a former field agent who served 22 years in the Shin Bet's Jewish Division, asserts that denying a meeting with a lawyer "is a tool only used out of lack of choice." A Haaretz investigation reveals that in its war on Jewish terror, the Shin Bet has turned denying meetings with lawyers into a norm, with dozens of Jews suspected of political crimes being denied legal counsel in recent years, a statistic law enforcement bodies have hidden.
Two Sundays ago, Moshe Yinon Ben Amit Oren of the Givat Ronen Arusi outpost was arrested and taken for Shin Bet interrogation. Not only were the suspicions against him immediately forbidden from publication but also the very arrest itself. Oren, 18, was interrogated for four days in a Shin Bet facility in Petah Tikva before he was allowed legal counsel. He was completely cut off those four days, not even receiving an explanation of his rights.
Last week, the gag order on his case was lifted and Oren was indicted. The prosecution accuses him of endangering human life in a traffic lane because he shot a metal marble with an air gun at a Palestinian taxi, tearing a hole in its back windshield. No one was injured, and his lawyers claim if he weren't a settler no one would have dared think of preventing Oren from meeting with a lawyer, a serious violation of his rights as a subject of interrogation.
A Haaretz investigation indicates that this practice of denying counsel bears no connection to the gravity of the suspected crime. According to the law, a detainee has the right to legal counsel without delay. Denying the meeting is based on a section of the arrest law allowing security force personnel to deny a suspect of security offenses from meeting a lawyer for up to 10 days, if the meeting would interfere with the arrest of other suspects, interfere with discovering or obtaining evidence, disrupt the investigation some other way or to prevent a further crime or save a life. Withholding legal counsel more than 10 days requires approval by the president of the district court and of the attorney general.
However, according to lawyers representing Jews suspected of political crimes, denying legal counsel has become the default since 2012.
"It is a regular ritual," says attorney Itamar Ben Gvir, who has represented several security suspects. Attorney Yitzhak Bam, who has represented many Israelis suspected of political offenses, says, "In recent years everything more than giving a flat tire ends up in arrest without a lawyer." He says some detainees are denied counsel up to three weeks. "I'd say there are 20 such detainees per year," he says. "Israel is perhaps the only Western country that prevents a meeting between a minor suspect and a lawyer."
Concealed secret
Shin Bet and Justice Ministry officials asserted in reaction to an inquiry from Haaretz that they do not have statistics on how many Palestinians and Israelis are prevented from seeing a lawyer after their arrest in recent years. They are not sure that it is true. When the Movement for Freedom of Information and Yesh Din petitioned the High Court of Justice in 2009 demanding to reveal the statistics, the security services refused on the assertion that revealing it would endanger state security.
"The detailed explanation of the authorities convinced me that accepting the petition, either broadly or narrowly, was liable to open a small window that in the end and unintentionally would somehow help enemy forces seeking to hurt the state," wrote Justice Neal Hendel in the decision to keep the data secret.
However, a Haaretz investigation found that it is almost impossible to find Jews who were arrested of suspected political crimes and immediately received legal counsel. Seven such suspects were arrested at the beginning of 2016 for crimes such as torching vehicles and throwing a firebomb into a home. The Shin Bet interrogated all seven and five were prevented from seeing their lawyer for over a week. The three suspects in torching a car in Yafiyya in July also were denied a lawyer, in their case for three days.
"In other words, they prevent the meeting until the suspects confess," says their lawyer, Lior Bar Zohar. In these two cases, serious indictments were filed, but it's not always the case.
A youth arrested in the Duma case in November was denied a lawyer for 18 days. He was eventually indicted, but for something else, attacking a Palestinian in 2014. His lawyer, Sinaya Harizi-Mozes, says this affair arose in his investigation only because of the difficult conditions under which he was held, and because he was denied a lawyer for so long.
Even in less severe cases, like setting tires on fire or graffiti, actions described as "price tag" attacks, the security services tend to deny suspects their lawyers before interrogating them. For example, in the investigation of a hate crime in Abu Ghosh in 2013, during which dozens of cars had their tires slashed and sprayed with anti-Arab slogans, security forces prevented two suspects from meeting their lawyer. One of them, according to his attorney, was cut off form legal counsel for an entire week. Only one of the two was eventually indicted.
It'll drive you crazy
'A' says on lacking a lawyer by his side: "You don't know what to say that won't hurt yourself. Even if you didn't do anything they can do what they want with you." He thinks the goal of preventing the meeting is to generate mental pressure. "They can tell you what they want – you have nothing else," he says. "A lawyer basically would tell you they are lying. For example, when they say that everyone confessed and only you didn't."
He describes the interrogations as irrelevant and humiliating. One of the interrogators, he says, "came and sat across from me. He started caressing my ears. 'You are going to enjoy yourself here, I will drive you mad.' It is questions and debasing – 'you are a sick person,' like that. Ninety percent of the interrogation is not really relevant to the file but rather threats. 'You will be in jail 20 years, we won't leave you your entire life, even after you get out of jail. We will take you out crazy from this room, we broke all the greatest terrorists, you are a child of 17 and you, too, will break. Don't worry, you are like a joke.'"
Lacking legal counsel, the detainees are liable to believe the false threats and confess, even to things they did not do.
"I personally believed every word," says A. "They also explain to you why what they say is logical, as if it were the truth. You believe everything." He met with a lawyer after eight days. He was released that day and returned for a number of interrogations. He was never indicted in the affair.
Security officials assert that denying a meeting with a lawyer is done methodically and carefully. "The Duma story is an excellent example of this," says Kariv. In this affair, according to him, the permits for interrogating without a lawyer "were given just a day or two before there was an additional attack."
Kariv recalls: "While the detainees were in jail, being interrogated, there was a similar attack, only there the father managed to get the child out in time. It probably means that they went to the court, and said that there is intelligence that there is going to be another incident, and the fact is there was a similar incident. They knew what they were talking about."
According to him, the fact that in the end indictments were filed against some of those who were interrogated for less severe offenses does not mean that there was no reason to deny them a lawyer. "We can agree that there is no need when it comes to graffiti," he says. "But, sometimes you know that the infrastructure that did the graffiti plans to do something else, much more violent… the indictment is in line only with what you manage to prove in order to bring the case to court. I know about people who murdered, who go around free and are arrested periodically for incitement or graffiti. Does that mean they are not dangerous?"
The Shin Bet commented: "The Shin Bet interrogations are conducted according to the law, with close supervision by the state prosecutor and subject to broad judicial review by the court. The authority to postpone a meeting of the security detainee with his lawyer, for a limited time, is required in investigating suspects for security offenses, with the goal of preventing terrorist acts.
"Every decision regarding postponing a meeting between the suspect for security offenses and his lawyer is made after making deep consideration, and subject to legal opinions. Exercising authorities is done in line with the reasons set by law, and it is subject to judicial review, as is done in the cases mentioned in the article. Moreover, in every investigation mentioned in your inquiry, the detainees' lawyers submitted a petition against postponing the meeting, and the court rejected the appeal, and thus confirmed that there were no flaws in the investigators' considerations."
