Is it hard to forecast 5-10-15 years ahead? Municipalities seem to be stingy on public land. Given that, the Haredization of Elad and overtaking of the dati-leumi sector happened almsot from the beginning and over the past ten years is increasing and frankly, unstoppable - like Bnei Brak and BS. I would relocate the DLs to Shoham.Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-13542729442003687742014-08-17T21:47:31.387+03:002014-08-17T21:47:31.387+03:00you think Gila was first?

Every Friday morning for almost a year, there was a 'havgana' outside of the school -- they brought tehlim, shofars, and put on an entire production outside of the school. Instead of getting angry, the Ulpana students hung a sign outside of the school which stated "The previous Beit Hamikdash was destroyed because of Sinat Chinam, and the future Beit Hamikdash will be built from Ahavat Hinam." In my opinion, the grown men 'tora scholars' at that havgana have a LOT to learn from the 13 year old girls that hung that sign.<br />B'sorot tovotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-43593194588467069662014-08-17T16:43:43.210+03:002014-08-17T16:43:43.210+03:00I suspect that the particular individuals who are ...I suspect that the particular individuals who are threatening BS 2 did not take part in the shows of unity with the Yifrachs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
