• The Noam Eliyahu mamlachti-dati school in Netivot is in desperate need of donors to establish a library in memory of Ksahon Beinsian, z”l. Ksahon, who made Aliyah with his family from Ethiopia in 1989, lost his father at the age of nine and raised his younger siblings together with his mother. He served as a pathfinder in the IDF for 21 years. He was killed stopping a terrorist cell, saving many Israeli lives in the process, during "Operation Tsuk Eitan". Ksahon was the father of three; his fourth child was born days after he was killed. His wife, Galieto, wishes to establish a library in his memory in their children’s school. For details, please see here or contact Leora Ronen 050-893-6488.
  
  
• A Chanuka thought from the Basement. A well known question asks why Chanuka is celebrated for eight days, if the miracle of the oil began only on day two. Rabbi Mencahem Mendel of Kotzk answers: The miracle of the first day was that after the Jews had experienced so much destruction and devastation, both physically and spiritually, they even bothered to look for the oil at all. חנוכה שמח וחודש טוב
