The Itamar Story Needs To Be Told

As the administrator of the "Bless Itamar" blog, I am SO blessed. The the more I learn about Itamar, the more I am blown away about how courageous the citizens of Itamar really are. You cannot imagine the incredible stories of this community.

As I go through the archives, I see stories of miracles, middle of the night visits to Joseph's tomb, the land being planted and bearing fruit, heros giving their lives and history being made. This community is amazing and their story NEEDS to get out. I am blessed to be a participant in the telling of this story.

The "Bless Itamar" blog will be archiving the stories about Itamar beginning with our recent 2010 relationship with Itamar (with some exceptions of laying the foundation of the the basic story of Itamar).

You can learn more about the history of Itamar at the Friends of Itamar website - http://www.friendsofitamar.org/news.html

If you take time to dig, you will meet the modern day heros of Israel and you WILL be blessed.

Enter their story and enjoy the journey!

Moshe and Leah Visit Tacoma, WA

Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith and his wife Leah spent Monday evening August 30th in Tacoma, WA USA.  This was their second visit to Washington State in six months.  A very special bond is being formed between people from all over Washington State and the community of Itamar. 

Several hundred came out to greet Moshe and Leah and to express their support for Itamar.  Their were many one - on - one conversations, smiles, hugs, questions and expectations for future meetings.   Listen to Moshe and Leah's presentation -  An Evening with Moshe and Leah

Relaxing With Friends

After days of a whirlwind tour through several states, Moshe and Leah were able to relax and spend a few hours enjoying a perfect, sunny afternoon near Gig Harbor, WA. 

Lisa and Leah

Deena and Lisa Walker hosted this special time with friends. 

Moshe really "loved" the Gravity Chair.  Is there a way to get a Gravity Chair in a suitcase? 

Gift Idea for Moshe!
