Dear Friends,

The developments in recent months in Eretz Yisroel have left many of us in the American Torah community confused. In recent weeks, Mishpacha Magazine has made it a priority to conduct a dialogue within the American Torah community regarding these issues, giving the opportunity for people to voice their questions and get solid answers.

A pilot event was held in Lawrence, where a candid and compelling conversation equipped participants with facts, figures, perspectives and insights from those in the thick of the discussions.

This week, Mishpacha will be hosting two more such events- tonight, at the home of Yitzchok and Devorie Fuchs in Flatbush at 8;00 pm, featuring Mishpacha’s publisher Eli Paley and respected columnist Reb Yonasan Rosenblum, moderated by Eytan Kobre. Tomorrow evening, Wednesday, these two panelists will be in the Catskills, in the Twin Oaks colony, at the home of Rav Aryeh Zev Ginzberg, who will offer divrei pesicha. The event will be moderated by Rabbi Yehuda Heimowitz.

The details for each event are in the attached poster.

Please join us, and please get involved in a battle which threatens to splinter Israeli society- its one that cannot be ignored, one which a feeling, thinking Jew should be engaged in at some level- even if its only knowing the answers and having a clear sense of what our gedolim want, to be able to give those answers to ourselves.

We all revere our gedolim- and we legitimately wish to understand the position of our camp. Lets give ourselves the opportunity.
