Yonatan Razel with Levitical Choir at the Southern Wall

During Chol Hamoed Sukkos, the Temple Institute's Levitical Choir joined dozens of other musical Levites in a festive performance of Kapital 27 of Tehillim. The Temple Institute's Levitical Choir performers can be recognized by their Levitical uniforms, and, of course, the silver trumpets are those reproduced by the Temple Institute. The concert was a joint production of The Temple Institute, the East Jerusalem Development Company, the Municipality of Jerusalem, and others.

The performance took place on the steps leading up to the ancient Hulda Gates on the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount, the gates through which thousands of pilgrims once ascended from the City of David to the Beis Hamikdash.

"One thing I ask of HaShem, that I seek - that I may dwell in the house of HaShem all the days of my life, to see the pleasantness of HaShem and to visit His Temple all the days of my life."

Kiddush Hashem: Nahal Haredi to Benefit All IDF Units

Kiddush Hashem: Nahal Haredi Embarks on Task to Benefit All IDF Units

With a proud history spanning 24 years, Nahal Haredi has been a beacon of hope for over 13,000 combat soldiers and veterans. Founded to provide Haredi youth an opportunity to serve in the IDF without compromising their religious way of life, this organization has faced numerous challenges and emerged triumphant.

Today, in 2023, Nahal Haredi boasts an impressive record:

- 18,000 veterans, with over 70% actively serving in Reserve Service, often in regular fighting battalions.

- 3,000 active soldiers, including those in renowned units such as the Netzah Yehuda Combat Battalion 97, Netzah Yisrael Combat Reserve Battalion 941, and the Haredi Companies in Tomer Battalion, Givati Brigade, Paratrooper Brigade, Palgat HaNegev, Nevatim Air Force Base, and the Tzama Air Force Company, which plays a vital role in repairing air strips for fighter planes.

- Not to forget the dedicated Tractor Trailer Transportation Drivers who keep essential supplies moving.

Nahal Haredi is not just an integral part of Israel's present; it's the driving force behind socio-economic change. Impressively, over 90% of Nahal Haredi veterans are gainfully employed, exemplifying the tremendous Kiddush HaShem they make in Israel and across the globe.

Throughout history, when Klal Yisroel cries in pain we run like a child to our mother. Mama Rachel, we yearn for your comfort and your tefillos and we beg: Please take our pain straight to the kisei hakavod! Please plead and intercede on our behalf. Cry along with us and shake the heavens for us, your aching children.

Mama, when you lost your lot in life, you didn’t ask any questions. You believed in the same Master Plan that we still cling to. But now we need you to ask. We beg you to stand before Hashem and don’t stop asking:
When? When will this galus come to an end?
Mama, please don’t stop asking when!
This song was written for Mosdos Kever Rochel, to express the yearning of our collective hearts. May we be zoche to the geulah sheleima b’karov.
