Alumni in IDF, Eilat Tiyul, Milk and Wine, College Meeting


Aaron Wodinsky in the IDF

By Yonatan Kaplan
Alumnus

We are very proud of Eretz Hatzvi alumnus, Aaron Wodinsky (’08 and ‘09), who has officially been sworn in as a member of the IDF, after joining the Nachal Hareidi brigade in November. A few of our alumni, back on their recharge trip, as well as Rav Benny and Rav Yitz had the privilege of attending Aaron’s Tekes, swearing in ceremony, which took place at Givat Hatachmoshet (Ammunition Hill) in January.

Student

Representatives of many yeshivot came to discuss with the leadership of the JLIC the issues affecting students on campus. Having been one of the pioneers of JLIC and presently serving on its advisory committee, I was excited to welcome this event.
