Homesh First, the New Homesh Yeshiva and Shirat Yerushalayim are combining to hold a festive reception on Saturday night November 14th, to mark the release from jail of Aryeh Arbus and Achya Ovadia, two soldiers from Platoon 2 of the Shimshon Battalion, who were punished for waiving a banner at their swearing-in ceremony that read "Shimshon does not vacate Homesh," referring to efforts to keep Jews out of the northern Samarian community uprooted by Israel in 2005.
Taking part in the event will be Rabbis Dov Lior and Yitzchak Ginsburg, along with other yeshiva heads, rabbis and public figures. It is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. in the Shirat Yerushalayim Hall at 64 Kanfei Nesharim Street. For more information, call 052 720 3607.
