The travels of the length and breadth of the land of Israel in the framework for updating our database include amongst them many emotional moments. This past week the Olam Hatorah staff was propelled to Tiberias, a Torah city from the past that was reigned through its strength and in its glory. The warm days of summer have already arrived in Tiberias and the other holiday cities bringing the first waves of vacationers. Torah? What will be? The answer is found in the following story.

The feeling was overwhelming when entering the newly refurbished Karliner Shteibel in the home of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk,z"l and hearing and seeing the voices of Torah reverberating throughout. It is a breathtaking sight seeing a Jew ignoring the outside attraction and instead choosing to spend his time studying Torah. It is exhilarating to stand in the Shteibel that sits on the edge of the Kinneret River and focus your hearing to the song of learning. We brought out a camera with which we utilized to capture this emotional moment.

During these days when we hear about anti-Semitic attacks in the Diaspora (for ex, this week in France), and in a time when the security situation in Israel is not at its best the need for advocates is awakened. At this moment when the summer spiritual ills are beginning, we all have the ability to be advocates for all of Klal Yisrael.

Since Olam Hatorah was established to be involved in goodness and in correctness, we are only involved in actions that have benefit and kindness for the Jewish heritage. Therefore, we are asking from everyone to send us pictures that convey Torah and good deeds.
And, our prayers are that the good and benevolence that is publicized should seal the mouths of our accusers and of our enemies and that we will be entitled to witness the coming of Mashiach speedily in our days, Amen.
