 | | While Yerushalayim has reemerged as the central political focus in Israel these days, the religious and spiritual significance attached to our holy city often falls by the waste side. |
 | | It is the goal of the National Council of Young Israel to use Yom Yerushalayim as a springboard for activities and events during the immediate following Shabbat filled with programs concerning Yerushalayim. |
 | | Areas to be covered include: history, stories, personalities, neighborhoods, sites and sounds, synagogues, chesed of Yerushalayim, geography, foods of Yershalayim, etc. Materials to be created include: a choveret (resource book) including a bibliography of sources outside of the realm of the choveret, Youth programming (games, contests, etc.), speakers available for that weekend and the like. |
