Large army forces then arrived and surrounded the house, and after three hours, when the terrorist approached the front door, they let out a burst of gunfire and killed him. A Kalachnikov rifle, of the kind distributed to the Palestinian police several years ago, was found on his person, together with four full magazines. Police and army officials praised the quick response of the local residents. "We expect that communities will act as independent security entities, and will provide the proper response in the minutes until the trained forces arrive," the local Border Guard commander said. "There is no doubt that the terrorist intended to carry out a murder spree in Moshav Maor."

We have also been informed that as an added feature of the Kinus Hashluchos this year, a list has been compiled of the local playgroups and will be available to the Shluchos in the near future on KINUS.COM. All registration forms are already available for download, and updates will be posted regularly.

The Kinus Office has requested that Shluchos visit KINUS.COM before calling the office with questions, as most answers will be found online. Kollel wives and future Shluchos can also attend by filling out a registration form, clearly marking it KOLLEL on top, and getting it signed by Rabbi Nochum Kaplan of the Mochon L'shlichus or Rabbi Ephraim Mintz of the Shluchim Placement Bureau, if they are members there.

LECHAIM IYH THURSDAY NIGHT @ FREE

During the smashing week, with the help of very capable Bochurim from 770, over 50 Jewish children k"ah enjoyed a fun filled learning experience, along with trips to ice skating, rock climbing, swimming, lazer tag, snow tubing and sports, while learning about Brochos, Kashrus, and Shabbos through sports, arts and crafts, baking, games and songs.

Camp ended on Tuesday with a very lively presentation by the campers for their parents, who were moved by the amount the children learned in such a short time. Many children were heard wondering aloud why camp couldn't be longer.

Rabbi Geisinsky, director of Chabad of Great Neck, was very happy with the camp commenting that it was the best camp since he moved out on Shlichus.
