Body: My beloved, respected brothers, I have a holy obligation to add words to what we discussed yesterday, when you honored me with your visit to my house. First, I make a short prayer to the Master of Peace that He will enable my words, which emanate from a deep place in my soul, to arrive safely in your pure hearts, so that they will promote a foundation of peace in our dear moshava, your and our Petach Tikva, may it develop well.
I am protesting quietly the letter that I received today, due to the honor of its signees. I am depending on the delicateness of your elevated spirits, that like me, you realize the responsibility is too great this time to find the exactly correct degree [to which to aim the urgency of these words].

I also want to speak clearly about all matters upon which there may be disagreement. Regarding the voting process, a committee should be chosen by the two parties, and those chosen should choose a neutral party that they both agree to.
If my eye condition did not make it difficult for me to write, I would write at length pleasantries, as befits such respected people as you, that are appropriate under the circumstances you are in. In any case, I hope that you will come out [of this period] with honor and grandeur, adorned by the glow of peace and the crown of bravery that befits one who demonstrates self-control, which is the most beloved glory of the valorous.
Now I must end my letter, doing so with every feeling of blessing and reliable love, as we look for national salvation and the raising of the stature of Israel and the spreading out of a booth of peace on Hashem’s nation and land. I have in mind to bless every individual who helps the foundation of peace in the moshava with a good year, adorned with everything good, with an abundance of long, productive life and peace.
I do not need to explain to honest people like you that all means that the council develops to alleviate the difficulty of making municipal payments, if they do so, will be done without discrimination between one party and the other. Also, they should not look for stringencies in the process of setting up voting groups and becoming a committee member. These are all things that I will strongly trust the council to do itself with the most complete attribute of honesty.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
