Getting Absorbedin ModiinBy: Elise Rynhold and Elana H. Billig, Adv.

As the two English-speaking members of Modiin’s newly formed Aliya and Absorption Committee headed by Dr. Shlomo Chemouny, we would like to keep the English-speaking community in Modiin informed about what Modiin’s Absorption Department has to offer.

Until now, the Absorption Department, based in the Caravan Site, has primarily worked with Russian, French and Spanish speaking Olim. As a result, many English-speaking Olim are unaware of the activities and services offered by the Department.

UlpanA new immigrant, up to two and a half years in

Israel, is entitled to register for Ulpan. At least 15 students are required to open an Ulpan in Modiin. If fewer than 15 students register, new immigrants can study at Ulpanim in Lod, Ramle, Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

The Ulpan schedule in Modiin currently in effect is as follows:Ulpan Aleph for beginners: Sunday-Thursday 8:30-12:50

Ulpan Bet and Gimmel: Sunday, Monday and Wednesday 17:00-20:00

By: HaRav David Lau

During the month of Elul we recite from Tehillim (chapter 27), “Le’ David Hashem Ori.” In that chapter David Hamelech states:כל ימי בבית ה׳ ,שבתי אבקש אותה ה׳ ”אחת שאלתי מאת

בהיכלו“ ולבקר ה׳ בנועם ,לחזות חיי

“I have but one request of Hashem that I will seek after, that I might dwell in the house of Hashem all the days of my life, to behold the pleasantness of Hashem and to visit in His sanctuary.”

By reciting this chapter, we request of Hashem that which David Hamelech requested. Interestingly, David Hamelech asks to dwell in the House of the L-rd, but yet simultaneously asks to be considered a visitor. How might we understand this contradiction? The explanation is that David Hamelech’s intent is to dwell in the House of the L-rd but not reach a state of complacency. Rather, David Hamelech strives to always retain a sense of renewal, similar to the feelings of a guest who comes to a new place and delights in the new experience and excitement of that place.

If one further examines the passage, one notices that David Hamelech uses both the past and future tenses in the same sentence. Achat sha’alti – I have but one request and later otah avakesh – I will request. Perhaps by alternating tenses David Hamelech tries to

Starting First GradeBy: Erella Zvi-Amiel and Dolly Chotam

Here comes the day! You, as a parent, are excited to send your child to school for the first time. You send him off with all the new school supplies in his bag and a thrill in his heart. Yet, like every new experience, first grade requires some adjustment. Every change we experience in life contains three main stages which follow one another and combine to form a long and deep process:

1. Departure from the former situation – the child has to emotionally and mentally accept that he is no longer in gan, but a responsible and mature first grader.

2. Learning and adjustment – the child adapts to environmental requests such as new rules and expectations as well as new teachers and classmates.

3. Assimilation and confidence – the child develops a sense of familiarity and comfort with a new situation.

The first day of school can be both an exciting and stressful occasion for children and parents alike. Some children will express happy and excited feelings while others may complain of nervousness and may even shed some anxious tears.

When entering first grade there are a number of changes your child goes through simultaneously:

Location – the school may be located in a different neighborhood, which requires you and your child to learn the best route to arrive there. Entering the new building may be overwhelming and it takes time to familiarize with the different classrooms, corridors and offices.

New teachers – having new teachers takes adjustment as does meeting the principal, secretary, librarian and the numerous children and other staff members.

New responsibilities – a big (huge) schoolbag full of different notebooks, textbooks, pencil case, food and a water bottle which he is responsible for keeping organized and prepared.

New expectations – your child is expected to sit quietly for several hours, listen to his teacher, participate in class and fulfill tasks such as homework and assignments.

Don’t panic! There are things you can do to help make this transition easier on you and your child.

• Ask yourself how you are feeling about this milestone in your child’s life. It just might bring to mind your experience entering first grade. Good memories can be a source of comfort and reassurance. Find some spotlights in your memories and share them with your child, along with other family members.

Happenings on the HillBy: Aryeh Bak

On Thursday, July 15, the US House of Representatives passed HR 4818, a massive bill, titled “Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2005” by a wide margin of 365 to 41. The bill has been referred to the Senate where it will be voted on after the summer recess, and is expected to pass into law. The bill contains many items that relate to Israel and her neighbors:

• Israel is to receive $2.58 billion in economic aid; $2.22 billion of that (86%) in military aid, while $360 million (14%) is slated as economic aid. The military assistance represents a $73 million increase relative to 2004. The economic aid represents a $117 million reduction relative to 2004. This reduction is in accordance with Israel’s desire to wean herself off of economic assistance.

• The second largest recipient of US economic assistance is Egypt, slated to receive $1.8 billion in US aid in 2005 ($1.3 billion military, $535 million economic). Egypt receives a large amount as a direct result of the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Of late, Egypt has been guilty of many violations of this treaty, but for now, continues to receive the benefits as if they were in compliance with the treaty. Examples of Egypt’s violations of the treaty include state-sponsored anti-Semitism and the recall of the Egyptian ambassador to Israel back to Cairo.

• A proposed House bill that would have converted half of Egypt’s military assistance to economic assistance failed earlier in the day.

• Perhaps the most controversial item in the bill was the decision to remove Saudi Arabia’s aid. The vote was a narrow 217-191, and was followed by audible cheering in the House after its passage. While Saudi Arabia’s actual assistance was the nominal amount of $25,000, a country that receives any assistance whatsoever is entitled to receive significant discounts on US military equipment. This item cost the Saudi government many millions of dollars in discounts that they would have otherwise received. Needless to say, a significant symbolic point was made.

• The bill forbids money that is earmarked for the Palestinians from going to the Palestinian Authority (though the President can override this clause if it were to be considered detrimental to US security). Likewise no US money is to be spent on the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation. It is expected that the Palestinians will receive $75 million in economic assistance to be administered by US AID (Agency for International Development). A proposal to halt all aid to the Palestinians until the cessation of terrorist activity failed to pass.

What children wantWhat parents look for

Why We Live in Israel …By: Lisa Schmerler, Nof Ayalon

I arrived in Israel in February 1977 at the age of 17 looking forward to a wonderful 18 months of adventure and learning. I was not disappointed. In fact, about halfway through my year on kibbutz I decided I needed another year to explore the adventure called "learning in a yeshiva" in Israel. But how would my parents ever agree to that? The only answer I could come up with was davening at the Kotel. Every chance I could get I went to the Kotel and prayed. My prayer was just four words long but it said it all: "Please let me stay".

When my parents came to visit in Januray we went to the Kotel and I told my mother, "I come here every

chance I get and pray you will let me stay in Israel another year." My parents told me at the airport as they were leaving that my prayers were answered. When my friend who was standing there asked my mother why she was letting me stay, my mother replied, "She told me that she davened at the Kotel, how could I say no?!"

That was 27 years ago. I have lived through the daily frustrations, monthly financial crises, and raised four children while grinding my teeth over the educational system. I then stop and think about that first year I was in Israel and I try to recapture that feeling I had when I davened at the Kotel. And when I go to the Kotel, I still pray, "Please let me stay".

convey to us the importance of maintaining the feeling of yearning and striving. He sends us the message that we should never allow our dreams to fade and dull with the passing of time.

During these Yamim Noraim we strive to reach new spiritual heights and perhaps become a new and improved individual. We repent for any misdeeds and accept upon ourselves new positive actions. Yet, with the passing of time – following these days of heightened spirituality and with the return to our routine lives – it is easy to lose our sense of motivation and fall into a state of complacency.

David Hamelech understands the nature of man. He uses the past and the present intermittently to convey to us the need to overcome these tendencies and keep our desires to come close to Hashem strong throughout the year.

As we approach the New Year, I would like to especially bless those who have made Aliyah to the Holy Land and have chosen to dwell in the renewed ancient city of the Chashmonaim. May the feelings of motivation that led you here remain close to your hearts, and may you always retain a sense of excitement as that of a visitor although you are now permanent residents. May you continue to grow in spirituality as you begin your new lives in Eretz Yisrael.

May Hashem grant you and Klal Yisrael all you hearts desire for the New Year and may you witness the beauty of Yerushalayim.

Back-to-School Tips• Start the new year by reflecting on the previous

year. What went well? What could have gone better? Map out a list of goals and improvements.

• Pick one or two (more can be overwhelming) for the coming year. Examples include, improving mad-dash mornings, completing homework on time or being more prepared.

• Create a plan to help reach your goals. Organize bags, lunches and clothes the night before, stick to a homework schedule and plan ahead.

• Make yourself a clear chart with every child’s schedule. Have all necessary information posted so you can refer to it at a glance.

• The kids can keep their schedules posted in their rooms. This gives them a sense of responsibility and may even relieve some of the pressure off you.

• Celebrate success when things have gone well and goals have been met. This is something the whole family can take pride in. Advertising deadline for the October issue

First Grade, Continued from page 4

• Parents’ fears and anxieties may be subliminally transmitted to their children. As a result, your child takes his cues from you as to how to feel about a new situation. It is wise to have a quiet conversation with your child and to legitimize his feelings. Emphasize his strengths and communicate your belief in his ability to face this milestone successfully. Reassure him of your support and remind him that you’ll be there for him every step of the way.

• Shop together for school supplies. Give him a choice of school bags, notebook covers and other necessary items. Turn the trip into an exciting event and a wonderful memory.

• Familiarize yourself and you child with the school setting, even before school begins. Walk to the classroom, lavatory and playground. Plan the route to and from school.

• For your own comfort and reassurance, you may like to set up brief meetings with the principal and teacher. If you have you recently moved, had a new baby or experienced a family crisis, you should address these at the meeting. Information, such as your child being sick or out of sorts, should also be shared so that they can help your child appropriately.

Every parent holds in her heart a wish for an easy, trouble-free life for her child. Many prayers are

whispered for a smooth and successful adjustment to first grade. In reality life tends to get complicated as we meet obstacles in our way. Remember to keep things in perspective and use team effort to get through.

Good luck.

Baseball, Friendship and HistoryBy: Caryn Meltz

Sixteen boys nationally selected to represent the Israel National Baseball Team went to Slovakia in July to compete in the European Championship games. Of the 16 players, four were from the Modiin area: Micha Brief (Modiin), Ziv Keren (Chashmoniam), Ilan Susskind (Kibbutz Gezer), as well as B.Z. Ettinger (Chashmoniam) who was unable to attend. They were led by their coaches Efraim Keren (Chashmonaim), David Summer (Netanya) and Yedidia Fraiman (Jerusalem).

They played against Czechoslovakia, Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland and the hosting team of Slovakia. Each team played six games in total.

During the trip, there were strict rules of not wearing kippot, only baseball caps, as well as not speaking Hebrew. The former was not a problem, but the boys found themselves slipping into their native tongue.

To get to the tournament which was held in Tranova, the team had to pass a Jewish cemetery marked with a yellow Magen David. The boys went for the purpose of playing baseball, but learned some history along the way.

They spent Shabbat in the capital city of Brotaslava where 600 Jews currently live, but years ago had a population of 6-7,000 Jews. Most of the Jews there today have intermarried. The boys were welcomed by the Chabad Rabbi who hosted the entire team. He

commented on what a remarkable deed it was having the boys there in Slovakia.

The team was comprised of religious and chiloni boys and their unity was overwhelming … throughout the season and throughout the trip in a country that clearly does not welcome Jews. An example of their achdut was apparent during a trip to the Chatam Sofer’s grave. Most of the cemetery was covered in concrete, but there was a section of rabbis’ graves that was preserved. At the gravesite, the religious boys said Tehillim and the chiloni boys lit candles.

The boys may not have won the tournament, but they had a tremendous time playing. When they did win a game, the sound of Hatikva blaring through the stadium in Slovakia was an emotional thrill. The Israeli team was known for having the best sportsmanship. Whether they were winning or losing they showed great enthusiasm.

The bleachers were filled with nationals along with parents from the various teams. It did come as a surprise when Slovakia was routing for Israel over Poland, but politics are politics no matter where you are in the world.

For Hazel Brief, Micha’s mother, who accompanied the team along with her husband and other family members, the highlight of the trip was, “seeing that my son has a great identity. He is a proud Jew and a proud Israeli.” Ask any of the pre-teen boys what the highlight of the trip was and the answer is unanimous, “Winning!”

The week came to an end, but the friendships that were made will be remembered by the teams exchanging of baseball caps and pins.
