MTA set the tone for Yom Ha’atzmaut with post-davening divrei chizuk from Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Michael Taubes and Maggid Shiur Rabbi Avraham Shulman, who discussed the importance of appreciating kedushas Eretz Yisrael and the miracle of its existence as well as the significance of the State of Israel to each talmid and their celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut. The entire yeshiva was privileged to hear from special guest speaker Rabbi Ephy Greene, Aish Gesher mashgiach, who spoke live from Israel about his life in Eretz Yisrael. Everyone enjoyed a delicious Israeli-style lunch from Golan and had a great time testing their knowledge of Israel and participating in the Israel Pursuit 2021 global Kahoot, hosted by Unpacked for Educators.
