❤️ THEY DIDN'T WANT THE YEAR TO END ❤️

As Bnei Aliya wrapped up the year with an incredible trip to 🎢 Dorney Park and 🏕️ Ring Homestead, the boys shared something remarkable:

"This is the first school we've ever attended where we genuinely don't want the year to end."

🔥 Camping
🎯 Paintball
🏊 Swimming
🏀 Basketball
🧗 Rope Course
🔥 Bonfire Farbrengens

More importantly, they grew emotionally, spiritually, physically, and socially throughout the year.

🙏 Thank you to all of our donors and supporters for making this life-changing year possible. Your partnership is helping shape the future of these precious neshamos.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our beloved Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, who was surprised this week with a beautiful celebration by his Kollel bochurim.

👶 Kiddush this Shabbos for Rosa Salcha, daughter of Rabbi Mendel and Devora Kaplan, following davening on the Aliya deck.

📖✨ What an incredible day!

This past Sunday, family, friends, and the entire Aliya community gathered to celebrate the completion and dedication of a beautiful new Sefer Torah.

💙 Dedicated in memory of Hatamim Dovid Chaim Horowitz a"h — a special neshama whose endless kindness, unconditional love, and genuine care for others touched countless lives. Dovid Chaim embodied judging others favorably and being careful with his words. His bright smile and warm presence are deeply missed by his family and friends.

❤️ The Horowitz and Ettelson families, together with friends who traveled from near and far and the Aliya family, joined together to complete the final letters and dance with the Torah dedicated in his memory.

🎶 Dancing in the streets
📜 Writing the final letters
🥂 L'chaims and celebration
❤️ Honoring a beloved soul

Join us this Shabbos as we bring out the new Sefer Torah for the first time!

🕍 Shacharis: 11:00 AM
📜 Krias HaTorah: 12:10 PM
🍽️ Festive Kiddush to follow
📖 Family members wishing to receive an aliyah are warmly invited.

✨ May Dovid Chaim's legacy continue to inspire us all, and may this Sefer Torah be a lasting source of merit for his neshama. May we very soon merit to dance together once again with Dovid Chaim, with the imminent arrival of Moshiach, speedily in our days. Amen.

📖 This Sunday at 3 PM: Join us for a special **Siyum Sefer Torah** in memory of David Chaim Horowitz a"h.

🏕️ Bnei Aliya is heading out on our annual end-of-year trip! Glamping, paintball, rope courses, swimming, BBQs, and celebrating an incredible year of growth together.

📈 Bnei Aliya continues to grow! Thanks to new partnerships with local mesivtas, we're helping boys get support before they fall through the cracks.

🕯️ The Kingston Ave Tefillin Booth is booming! Nearly 15 Tefillin wraps this Friday, including a father and son visiting from Eretz Yisrael who were thrilled to find us before Shabbos.

🔥 Thursday night's BBQ featured real estate entrepreneur and baal teshuvah Asaf Advocate, who inspired the chevra with his journey, emunah, and commitment to tzedakah.

🎮 Rabbi Nissen took the boys to Dave & Buster's for this week's trip after a last-minute change of plans.

📖 The Aliya Kollel was inspired by legendary host Moshe Rubashkin, who shared powerful lessons in hachnasas orchim and caring for fellow Jews.

❤️ Baruch Hashem, Aliya keeps growing. More people. More learning. More connection. More family.

🇮🇱 Last week, Rabbi Feiglin spent Shabbos in Eretz Yisrael together with two of his sons, reconnecting with dear Aliya alumni and seeing firsthand the incredible growth taking place there.

✨ Highlights included reconnecting with CBA, the school that began at Aliya and now thrives in Eretz Yisrael, speaking at Rabbi Yisrael New’s warm Aliya-style shul in Yerushalayim, and spending time together with over 160 lone soldiers at the Chayal el Chayal center with our dear friends Mordy Botnik and his wife.

💙 Many of the soldiers had wrapped tefillin at the Aliya booth or passed through Aliya over the years. Seeing our alumni serving Am Yisrael with such strength and mesirus nefesh was deeply inspiring.

🎉 Mazel tov to our dear friends Meir & Shoshana Hahn on the bris of their son, Shimon Akiva!

🥂 This Shabbos, the entire Aliya family is invited to a rooftop kiddush after davening hosted by Mendey & Vered Zulauf in honor of their daughter Dina — 2:00 PM on the deck!

🎳 Rabbi Nissen also took the Bnei Aliya boys bowling this week — an outing the boys thoroughly enjoyed.

🌸 We’re also excited for our upcoming pre-Shavuos couples event featuring floral arranging, delicious dairy treats, and an inspiring talk by Ariel & Shiri Kornblitt: “Growing Spiritually Without Growing Apart.”

❤️ Thank you to our incredible Aliya family and supporters for making all of this possible.

Good Shabbos & Moshiach Now ✨

🔥 Another incredible week at Aliya! 🔥

Huge thank you to all our amazing donors and supporters who make these programs possible ❤️

This past weekend, Rabbi Ari Lipsker & Rabbi Nota Shemtov took Ari’s crew to Reading, PA for an uplifting and inspiring Shabbos at the Lipsker family Chabad House. Special thank you to Rabbi & Mrs. Lipsker for hosting so warmly! 🙏

🎢 On Sunday, Rabbi Nissim rewarded the B’nai Aliya boys with a Six Flags trip after outstanding attendance and commitment since Pesach. Many of the boys are now even showing up an hour early for morning workouts before Chassidus! 💪🔥

And Lag B’Omer at Aliya was nonstop! 🔥

Three separate bonfires & barbecues for the different groups across Aliya, each filled with joy, achdus, music, and connection.

Thank you for helping us continue to provide a warm and uplifting home for so many young people ❤️

Shabbat Shalom! ✨
