With the first night of Passover rapidly approaching, we still have a few new videos to share that relate directly to the Pesach seder.
Here's a rendition of Dayenu that just came in from the boys of Boys Town Jerusalem. Produced in the Judean hills outside Jerusalem, it features the boys dressed in appropriate attire and a cast of camels to complete the picture.
Established in 1948 to provide a home and education for young immigrants to the newly-created State of Israel, Boys Town Jerusalem has become one of the country's largest and most respected educational institutions.
Boys Town was founded by Alexander S. Linchner, a Brooklyn-born
rabbi who, after the Holocaust, devoted his life to building a school
for the children of immigrants who poured into Israel from countries
around the world. His goal: providing them with a quality education that
would prepare them to build the State of Israel with technological
skill and traditional Jewish idealism.
Today, the beautiful 18-acre Boys Town campus in the Bayit Vegan
neighborhood of Jerusalem is one of Israel’s major technological
training centers. Approximately 800 students, ranging in age from 12 to
20, live on the campus, with a capacity to house up to 1,000.
The
children and grandchildren of immigrants from 45 countries on six
continents, they mirror the ethnic diversity of the Israeli population.
More than 75% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and
require substantial scholarship assistance. No student is ever turned
away from Boys Town due to inability to pay tuition.
In
addition to receiving a fine technological and academic education, Boys
Town students are deeply imbued with traditional Jewish values and
ideals, and pride in their Jewish heritage. As a result, Boys Town
graduates are proud to serve in the Israel Defense Forces
and then go on to build fine Jewish homes and families, while making
important contributions to their communities and the State of Israel.
Among Boys Town’s more than 6,200 graduates are many engineers,
technicians, educators, fine craftsmen and professionals.
Enjoy the video,and Shabbat shalom from Yerushalayim.
