Some 25 families from the Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav Kook community in Jerusalem visited N'vei Dekalim in Gush Katif this past Sabbath. Led by Rabbis Menachem Burstein and Yaakov Shapira, the group participated in a Friday night "Oneg Shabbat" including singing and Torah discussions. Rabbi Burstein, head of the Puah Institute ("www.puah.org.il" - Fertility and Gynecology in Accordance with Jewish Law), spoke at various synagogues over the Sabbath, and other participants gave lectures as well. "We have been greatly strengthened by this visit," many visitors said afterwards. The upcoming Jerusalem Day celebrations at Merkaz HaRav will feature the Gush Katif Children's Choir.
