Solidarity Mission: Aliyah & The Threats Israel Faces Tuesday October 20, 2015.
8am: After breakfast, we prayed as a group – prayer with kavinah, which means in Hebrew: praying with intention or sincere feeling or being directed by the heart. Our morning speaker today was Jewish Orthodox Rabbi Yishai Fleicher who delivered an authoritative talk entitled ‘The Capital of our Capital – How the Temple Mount and the Renegotiation of Jerusalem is at the Centre of our World’. He is an international spokesperson for the Jewish Community of Hebron, and member of the Efrat municipal council. He is also an Israeli broadcaster and a frequent columnist for major news websites.
