Yeshivat Lev HaTorah-Peppers, Beaches, and the IDF

Our first tiyul of the year began at a beautiful pepper field near Rehovot. In conjunction with Project Leket, an organization that organizes volunteers to pick fruits and vegetables for the needy, Lev HaTorah talmidim were involved in an amazing Chessed in preperation for Rosh Hashana. Picking peppers was not only exciting, and fun, but by the end of the morning, according to the account of Prject Leket, they will be able to feed 500 families peppers based on our picking alone. Next stop was the Ashdod Beach where we swam in the sparkling warm water of the Meditaranian Sea. The waves were nice, the water was unbelievable, and the beach games kept on coming! After lunch at the beach we head down south to Kibbutz Yad Mordechai. We stood at the actual site of the Miraculous battle in 1948 where the underdog Kibutzniks held the Egyptian Army for 6 days. These few days of heroism saved the whole Israel from an Egyptian take over of Israel. Rav Mo gave a stirring speech connecting the miracles of 1948 and the open Miracles of this past summer in Yad Mordechai. The Kibbutz, being just 2-3 miles from Gaza, was the target of hundreds if not thousands of rockets, yet the Kibbutz remained strong not giving into the cynical terror of Hamas. Our final destination for the day was an IDF outpost guarding the Erez crossing into Gaza. The soldiers warmly invited us onto their base, showing us all their guns, ammo, equipment. They gave as a tour of their base, its watchtowers, tank, and much more. It was really moving meeting the soldiers who fought in Gaza and every day put their lives in dangers in order to guard Israel from its enemies. The Yeshiva gave very nice gifts to the soldiers, a simple thank you, to our very special soldiers.
