Reflections on Religion and Living a Jewish Life
Written by Rob Crego
Being Jewish is more than just finding a spiritual connection. To be part of a religion that truly has care and love within itself is truly special. I believe this is a part of every religion. I have been thinking about this for a while and I have grown unsatisfied and angry with this attack on religion that has consumed a lot of media and news attention during the past few years.
For me, the inspired truth of organised religion is Life. Life is at the heart of everything. To be able to choose life signifies a way of living that is inherently different to the day-to-day life of routine and schedule. It offers solace in trying times as well as in jubilant ones.

Goodbye to the Beit Limmud
Written by Josh Moritz
Today RSY-Netzer says goodbye to the top floor of the Beit Limmud as our permanent offices. Generations of RSY-Netzer bogrim have had incredible, life-changing and formative experiences on the top floor of this great building. As we move to the Manor House, we felt it was only right to take a second to remember the Beit Limmud as a home, a rite of passage and a space for inspiration for two decades!

RSY-Netzer and Gilad Shalit
Written by Adam Overlander Kaye
A well deserved hug
As we enter the festivals of succot and simchat torah, known as zman simchateinu, a time of celebration, RSY-Netzer is particularly happy for the family of Gilad Shalit who is due to be released by Hamas after being held prisoner for more than 1900 days.
Gilad was captured on June 25th 2006, a month short of his 20th birthday. As bogrim and madrichim of the movement we can relate to being that age. We run machanot, hang out with our mates, go to Limmud, Benicassim, watch the football, go to Uni, to the cinema, have boyfriends, girlfriends, argue with our parents. All this, and much more, has been denied to Gilad during his imprisonment and we hope and pray that he is able to come to terms with life as a free man, a citizen, no longer a captured soldier.

Written by Josh Moritz
The UN Vote is one which has sparked many questions amongst groups of people. It has spiralled into debates between every day individuals to leaders around the world. It has been the reason for people breaking ties and causing arguments to people forming stronger bonds with each other over their beliefs and an area of land that has been fought over and sought after for years.
