Weekly Update Introduction - 26th April '07

Dear Members,
Chag Sameach we hope you had an enjoyable Yom Haatzmaut. We are already
starting to get excited about Israel's 60th Birthday in a year!
We sent out last week the upsetting story of Rabbi Micky Boyden being
told not to participate in a Yom Hazikaron ceremony for his son and
other fallen soldiers. We received a large response from members and
have compiled them together for you to read - we have also passed on a
copy to Rabbi Boyden in Israel. We also include an op ed written by
Rabbi Boyden that should appear in some of the Jewish press this week.
It gives a personal account of the whole situation.
As always we would be glad to hear any further comments.

Daniel
