Chag Sameach

From all of us on the Lander Alumni Council, have a wonderful Chag Sameach! Anyone who is in the neighborhood is more than welcome to come by Lander to learn leil Shavuos.

Tonight's event l'iluy nishmas Aliza Shull a'h was a beautiful and inspiring success, starting with a drasha from the Mashgiach R' Moshe Bamberger, followed by strong words of chizuk from Gabi Shull regarding Aliza and her desire to stop all forms of machlokes, in addition to his campaign to have a sefer Torah written in her memory. The evening was capped by the always great R' Paysach Krohn, who touched on Gabi's point with his array of shmuessim and stories while emphasizing the need for showing kavod to one another, especially as we head into Shavuos.

We hope to have the video from TorahAnytime.com within a few weeks and thank them for recording the event.
