Honored Guests in Pinsk

First and foremost were Rabbi Shteierman and his wife - Rabbi Shteierman is the leading strength behind Yad Yisroel and it is always a pleasure for us to see him here in Pinsk. Over the course of the Shabbos he spoke in both the Boys School, Yeshiva and attended the Engagement of Boruch Shofnos - a bochur who has been working in Pinsk for over 4 years.

We were also joined by a group of guests from Brooklyn, NY - led by the "Shamas of Berdichev" - Rabbi Feivish Mendelovich who joined us for the Shabbos.

On the 2nd of Kislev Ilana (Anya) Amanuk became Bas Mitzvah. Ilana joined our school at the beginning of this year after coming to Yad Yisroel's summer camp in Brest.

We wish Ilana Hatzlocha in her future life and may she continue in her chosen path to be a true "Bas Yisroel".

Chol Hamoed

As always, Pinsk on Chol Hamoed is the place to be. There was a tangible simcha in the air - as the members of the kehila joined together with the children in school for various activities including a Simchas Beis Hashoeva, ice skating, hiking, swimming, boating,
and a trip to the amusement park.

Sukos in Pinsk was filled with a feeling of true happiness and achdus.
