Dear Friends of Itamar,
The highlight of the Rosh Hashana prayers has us beseeching: “Inscribe us in the book of life… grant us life which we will use for Your sake, torah and good deeds.” There are challenges facing all of our lives today. We read about them on the front page of any newspaper. If EVER we have come to a time so defining in the message of life and blessing- or G-d forbid- death and destruction – it is staring us in the face today. If there was EVER a time demanding us to reaffirm our roots in the soil of the heartland – it is now!
Right here on Itamar, at the top of the mountain we feel enthusiastic about the New Year about to approach us because of our alliance with you, which shares the mission of building and fortifying the development of this vital area of the Land of our forefathers. Through your generous support, we have been able to take action in greening the land, improving infrastructure as well as educate future generations in actualizing the vision of redeeming the Land.
As visionaries you have been adopting and funding our key projects and granting new life for Hashem’s sake, the torah’s sake and for the sake of the Land. I have no doubt that your devotion to Itamar inspired by pure love and kindness will tip the scale for all of us with a blessing of a sweet and special New Year!
Together, the work we are doing here on Itamar will have a profound effect on the future. We turn to you at this time to make a request to repeat your kindness and enthusiasm by contributing to our vital cause.
Blessing you with a Shana Tova U’metukah!

Thank you Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith
- Mazal tov to the Ran family on the marriage of their daughter Bat Ami. In addition there are five more weddings coming up in the next few months on Itamar! Mazal Tov to the Cohen, Asheri,Chemo, Edan, and Goldsmith families on the upcoming weddings of their children.
- Special thanks to Jessica Katz of Yad Leah in Passaic NJ on the special clothing drive for Itamar. There are no words to express how many families are enjoying this special Gmach. It is a huge undertaking on her part as she prepares clothing lifts for over 30 yishuvim in Eretz Yisrael.
- Many of Itamar’s young couples study at the University of Ariel. We want to wish them all a Mazal Tov as the University of Ariel got its official recognition this week as a full-fledged university. Unfortunately, it was dirty
politics that held this amazing institution from being recognized long ago. - The Itamar summer camp is in full swing! Our children are having amazing summer thanks to our special friends like Rabbi Lefkowitz, Eddie Wuntch and congregation of Anshey Chesed that have made this possible. In addition we want to thank all our other friends of Itamar who have contributed to this important project. Sharona Weinberg of the 5 towns was also very instrumental in making this project work for the children of Itamar. Thank you so much. We still need to raise more funding to complete all the summer activities as planned. Any additional help would greatly be appreciated. Enjoy the picture of our campers with other youth from Netanya who came to spend the week volunteering on Itamar.
- Watch Rabbi Goldsmith’s new Torah lesson for the week where he discusses the power of prayer.
Last week it was motorcycle riders this week is was horseback riders that came from all over Israel to ride the hills of Itamar. The mountain views and trails on Itamar are amazing. The terrain affords a wonderful area for riding with its open expanse and breathtaking views. See this link and come and visit!http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157049
